Google Workspace CLI: Unified Command-Line Tool with Dynamic Command Generation

GitHub hosts the googleworkspace/cli project, introducing a unified command-line tool for Google Workspace services like Drive, Gmail, Calendar, and Sheets. Built dynamically from Google's Discovery Service, it eliminates boilerplate code by generating commands at runtime.

This means no static command list exists; instead, the CLI reads Google's API definitions live, automatically incorporating new endpoints or methods as they're added. The tool prioritizes human usability with features like tab-completion, dry-run previews, and auto-pagination, while also enabling AI agents through structured JSON outputs and 40+ pre-built agent skills for common workflows.
