What is google-workspace-cli-installer-guide?

An interactive guide for installing the Google Workspace command-line tool on macOS, Linux, Windows Subsystem for Linux, or Windows shells.

It helps install and configure the tool, accept required terms, create a Google Cloud project, enable Workspace APIs, and set up access for using Google Workspace from a terminal.

It guides first-time setup on a clean machine and checks prerequisites before installing the required package manager, Google Cloud tools, and command-line program. It also covers creating a cloud project, enabling APIs, and authentication setup.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00217	$0.06737
Opus 5.5	$0.00087	$0.02695
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00043	$0.01347
Haiku 4.5	$0.00022	$0.00674

Security

Grade C, and why

google-workspace-cli-installer-guide scanned grade C with 2 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Google Workspace CLI Installer Guide

You are guiding a user through a first-time install of the Google Workspace CLI (gws) on a clean machine. This is a real interactive setup with real shell calls. Don't rush. Verify every step before moving on. Be patient with the Cloud Console clicks - that's where most users fumble.

Realistic time: 15-20 minutes if everything goes smoothly, 30-45 minutes for a first-time GCP user (Terms of Service + manual OAuth client creation add the extra time). Tell the user this upfront.

Always assume the user wants to install the CLI. Don't pitch an MCP alternative or ask if they'd prefer one - just install.

Pre-flight: detect platform and confirm shell access

Run all checks before doing anything. If a check fails, STOP and surface it - don't try to recover by skipping.

Check 1: Bash is available

which echo

If this errors, the agent doesn't have shell access. Stop and ask the user to run from a real shell (Claude Code in terminal / IDE / desktop app).

Check 2: Detect platform

uname -s

Branch:

Darwin → macOS
Linux → check /proc/version for "microsoft" → if found, WSL; else Linux
MINGW* / MSYS* / CYGWIN* → Windows (Git Bash / MINGW64)
anything else → stop and ask user

Save the platform - every subsequent step branches on it.

Check 3: Write access to ~/.config/

mkdir -p ~/.config && touch ~/.config/.test && rm ~/.config/.test

If this fails, surface the error.

(Removed in this version: the old "do you actually want to do this - or use MCP?" pre-flight. Always proceed with the install.)

Step 1: Package manager

Branch by platform.

macOS

which brew

If missing, install Homebrew:

/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"

After install, follow the printed instructions to add brew to $PATH. Apple Silicon:

echo 'eval "$(/opt/homebrew/bin/brew shellenv)"' >> ~/.zprofile
eval "$(/opt/homebrew/bin/brew shellenv)"

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
