gcloud CLI

Overview

Operate the gcloud CLI as a safe, effective cloud assistant. Read cloud state freely for debugging and exploration. Always ask the user before any create, update, or delete operation. This is non-negotiable.

When to use

• The task explicitly involves gcloud commands or Google Cloud resource administration through the CLI.
• The user needs to inspect, debug, authenticate, or operate GCP resources from the command line.
• The request is about real project state: logs, IAM, services, networking, compute, storage, or config.
• The workflow centers on CLI-driven operations rather than Terraform or application code.
