# Google Workspace CLI

> Command-line tool and agent skills for managing Google Workspace services

Google Workspace CLI is an open-source Rust-based command-line tool dynamically built from the Google Discovery Service to manage Google Drive, Gmail, Calendar, Sheets, Docs, and Admin. It is specifically structured for both terminal users and AI agents, enabling automated Workspace actions and integration with agent frameworks via MCP and skills directories.
