Google Workspace CLI

Use gws when the task is about Google Workspace resources or Google Workspace API automation.

Prefer gws over generic HTTP calls when possible because it already knows the Workspace API surface and returns structured JSON by default.

Rules

1. Start with read/list/get commands before mutating Workspace state.
2. Confirm IDs first: document IDs, spreadsheet IDs, file IDs, message IDs, calendar IDs, space IDs.
3. Do not run interactive auth flows from an agent tool call. If auth is missing, report that gws needs to be configured in plugin settings or via a manual terminal login.
4. Keep commands machine-readable. Prefer JSON output and parse it instead of scraping human text.
5. For large list operations, limit the scope first, then page or filter.
