gws CLI Best Practices

Critical guidelines for using the gws command-line interface. Follow these rules to prevent common errors and protect user data.

Supported Services

Only the following services are currently available and pre-configured:

• Drive — file and folder operations
• Docs — document read/write
• Sheets — spreadsheet read/write
• Slides — presentation read/write

All other services (Gmail, Calendar, Tasks, Chat, etc.) are not available. Do NOT attempt to use them.

Interacting with Google Drive Links

Do NOT use the browser to open Google Drive, Docs, Sheets, or Slides links (e.g., https://docs.google.com/...). The browser environment may not be logged into the correct Google account and will likely fail to access the file.
