Google Workspace CLI skill for OpenClaw

What this skill does

Automates Google Workspace from the terminal with the gws CLI: search, send, upload, export, share, and administer 20+ Google APIs. Use when driving Gmail, Drive, Calendar, Sheets, Docs, or the Admin SDK — bulk mail search and send, file sharing and export, event, user, and group management — when a Google API call fails with 403, invalid_grant, quota errors, or empty results, or when exposing Workspace operations as MCP tools. Not for Google Cloud infrastructure (gcloud) or local macOS mail and calendar apps.

The Google Workspace CLI skill is part of the Research & Knowledge category — research and knowledge skills that gather, search, and summarize information. You can install it on its own or alongside other research & knowledge skills from the OpenClaw catalog.
