What is managing-google-workspace?

A tool guide for managing Google Workspace services such as Gmail, Drive, Calendar, Docs, Sheets, and Slides. It explains how to route requests through available tools and how to set up Google access when needed.

It is for checking and managing email, files, calendars, documents, spreadsheets, presentations, and other Google Workspace data through supported tools or a command line.

It removes the need to remember which tool and parameters belong to each Google service, while also giving instructions for handling first-time login and permission problems.

managing-google-workspace — Skill for Claude Code by taylorwilsdon

About the project

Google Workspace MCP Server connects AI assistants and developer tools to Google Calendar, Drive, Gmail, Docs, Sheets, Slides, Forms, Tasks, Contacts, and Chat through the Model Context Protocol. It is for people who want to control and edit Workspace services using natural-language requests, a command-line tool, or compatible AI clients. The catalogue entries extend or configure this server for agent use.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Any agent

Clone the repo

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/taylorwilsdon/google_workspace_mcp

Made for: Claude Code.

SkillSpector: 7 findings, up to high

These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

Skill reads from agent configuration directories (.claude/, .codex/, .gemini/). These directories may contain API keys, personal settings, and other credentials that the skill has no legitimate need to access.

Skill establishes unauthorized persistence across sessions via cron jobs, startup scripts, or state files. Session persistence allows an attacker to maintain access beyond the current interaction.

Fix: Remove any persistence mechanisms (cron jobs, startup scripts, state files). Skills should not maintain state across sessions without explicit user consent.
medium Excessive Agency · line 41
Skill enables autonomous high-impact decisions without human-in-the-loop verification. Critical operations (destructive commands, financial transactions, data deletion) should require explicit user confirmation.

Fix: Add human-in-the-loop confirmation for destructive, irreversible, or high-impact operations. Never auto-execute commands that modify files, send data, or alter system state.

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	$0.00117	$0.03261
Opus 5.5	$0.00047	$0.01304
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00023	$0.00652
Haiku 4.5	$0.00012	$0.00326

Security

Grade B, and why

managing-google-workspace scanned grade B with 1 finding 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 yesterday.

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.

.claude/, .codex/, .gemini/ hold keys, settings and other credentials a mod has no legitimate need for.

Google Workspace -- Tool Router

Execution Mode

Detect which mode is available and use it.

MCP (preferred)

If MCP tools from the google-workspace server are available, call them directly. The tool names in the tables below are the base names -- prefix with the server name as needed (e.g. google-workspace:search_gmail_messages).

CLI (no MCP)

If no MCP tools are available, call a running server via workspace-cli:

workspace-cli list
workspace-cli call <tool_name> key=value ...

Pass user_google_email=USER_EMAIL only when the tool schema requires it (legacy OAuth 2.0 without USER_GOOGLE_EMAIL set). Omit it for OAuth 2.1 and trusted-gateway servers, which take it from the verified identity.
Arguments are key=value pairs; values are parsed as JSON when possible, so pass lists and objects as JSON (e.g. label_ids='["INBOX"]').
The server must be reachable over HTTP. The default URL is http://localhost:8000/mcp (a server started with --transport streamable-http); override it with --url before the subcommand (workspace-cli --url <url> call ...) or WORKSPACE_MCP_URL. Plugin users on stdio can set WORKSPACE_MCP_HTTP_PORT to expose a loopback sidecar at http://127.0.0.1:<port>/mcp.
If workspace-cli is not on PATH, run uv run workspace-cli from a checkout of this repo. Installing it permanently (uv tool install . in that checkout) is a manual setup step for the user. Never use uvx workspace-cli: an unrelated, abandoned PyPI package squats that name.

Before calling a tool, read the relevant reference file for exact parameter names and types. Only use parameters documented there -- do not invent parameters.

First-Time Setup

If a tool call fails with a credential error, walk the user through this setup.

1. Create OAuth credentials

Direct the user to Google Cloud Console:

Create OAuth 2.0 Client ID (Desktop application type)
Enable the Google APIs they need (Gmail, Drive, Calendar, etc.)
Copy the Client ID and Client Secret

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.

managing-google-workspace is a skill published in the GitHub repository taylorwilsdon/google_workspace_mcp (3,407 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 117 tokens to every session and 3,261 once invoked, about $0.0005 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it B with 1 finding (reads agent configuration directories). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
