#Try it

After you store an OAuth client and authorize an account (Quickstart walks through the five-minute version), everything is a one-liner.

# Search this week's mail and read a sanitized message body for an agent.
gog gmail search 'newer_than:7d' --max 10
gog gmail get <messageId> --sanitize-content --json

# Today's calendar.
gog calendar events --today

# Audit a Drive folder without changing anything.
gog drive tree --parent <folderId> --depth 2
gog drive du   --parent <folderId> --max 20 --json

# Edit a Doc, append to a Sheet table, push slides from Markdown.
gog docs format <docId> --match Status --bold --font-size 18
gog sheets table append <spreadsheetId> Tasks 'Ship README|done'
gog slides create-from-markdown "Weekly update" --content-file slides.md

--json produces a stable JSON envelope on stdout, --plain produces TSV; human progress, prompts, and warnings always go to stderr so pipes stay parseable.

#What gog does

  • One binary, every API. Gmail, Calendar, Drive, Docs, Sheets, Slides, Forms, Apps Script, Contacts, People, Tasks, Classroom, Chat, Groups, Keep, and Workspace Admin.
  • Stable output. --json for scripts, --plain TSV for awk, human output on stderr.
  • Multi-account, multi-client. Many Google accounts and OAuth client projects in one config; OAuth, direct access tokens, ADC, and Workspace service accounts all supported.
  • Built for agents. Runtime allow/deny lists (--enable-commands, --disable-commands, --gmail-no-send) plus baked safety-profile binaries that cannot be reconfigured at runtime.
  • Read-only audits. Drive tree, du, inventory; Contacts dedupe preview; raw API JSON dumps without ever mutating remote state.
  • Generated reference. Every command has a docs page produced from gog schema --json.

#Pick your path

  • Trying it. Install → Quickstart. Five minutes from brew install to your first authenticated query.
  • Wiring up an agent. Safety Profiles and the bundled gog agent skill. Lock the binary down before handing it to a model.
  • Running Workspace at scale. Auth Clients for service accounts, named OAuth clients, and domain-wide delegation.
  • Backing up an account. Backup before pointing gog backup push at a busy mailbox.
  • Looking up a flag. The Command Index has a generated page for every subcommand.
