gog. Is a single-binary CLI for Google Workspace (Gmail, Calendar, Drive, Docs, Sheets, Slides, Contacts, Tasks, Chat, and Workspace Admin).

Summary

Garden stance: We assess gog for our estate.

When to use: Evaluate on a project when the capability clearly fits the requirement.

When to skip: When a simpler alternative already covers the need.

Details

  • Install: brew install per Quickstart. On gogcli.sh; MIT license; active development (steipete/gogcli on GitHub).
  • Output: --json envelope on stdout; --plain TSV for awk; stderr for prompts and warnings (pipe-safe).
  • Agent safety: Safety profiles and bundled agent skill documented on site; read-only audit modes (Drive tree, du, Contacts dedupe preview).
  • Fit: Tool / AI Agent - Google Workspace CLI for humans, scripts, and agents.
  • Contrast: Official Gmail MCP (Gmail Access); Composio managed MCP; raw curl + Google REST APIs.
  • Caveats: Not affiliated with Google; Workspace accounts may block personal OAuth apps (e.g. john.kamenik@gomboc.ai in gmail-access research).
