Google Workspace Extension for Gemini CLI

The Google Workspace extension for Gemini CLI brings the power of your Google Workspace apps to your command line. Manage your documents, spreadsheets, presentations, emails, chat, and calendar events without leaving your terminal.

Prerequisites

Before using the Google Workspace extension, you need to be logged into your Google account.

Installation

Install the Google Workspace extension by running the following command from your terminal:

gemini extensions install https://github.com/gemini-cli-extensions/workspace

Usage

Once the extension is installed, you can use it to interact with your Google Workspace apps. Here are a few examples:

Create a new Google Doc:

"Create a new Google Doc with the title 'My New Doc' and the content '# My New Document\n\nThis is a new document created from the command line.'"

List your upcoming calendar events:

"What's on my calendar for today?"

Search for a file in Google Drive:

"Find the file named 'my-file.txt' in my Google Drive."

Commands

This extension provides a variety of commands. Here are a few examples:

Get Schedule

Command: /calendar:get-schedule [date]

Shows your schedule for today or a specified date.

Search Drive

Command: /drive:search <query>

Searches your Google Drive for files matching the given query.

Headless / Remote Environments

If you're using the extension over SSH, WSL, Cloud Shell, or another environment without a local browser, you can authenticate using the headless login tool:

npm run auth-utils -- login

This prints an OAuth URL you can open in any browser (local machine, phone, etc.). After signing in, paste the credentials JSON into the CLI. Credentials are read securely from /dev/tty and are never exposed to the AI model. See the development docs for more details.

Deployment

If you want to host your own version of this extension's infrastructure, see the GCP Recreation Guide.

Important security consideration: Indirect Prompt Injection Risk

When exposing any language model to untrusted data, there's a risk of an indirect prompt injection attack. Agentic tools like Gemini CLI, connected to MCP servers, have access to a wide array of tools and APIs.

This MCP server grants the agent the ability to read, modify, and delete your Google Account data, as well as other data shared with you.

• Never use this with untrusted tools

• Never include untrusted inputs into the model context. This includes asking Gemini CLI to process mail, documents, or other resources from unverified sources.

• Untrusted inputs may contain hidden instructions that could hijack your CLI session. Attackers can then leverage this to modify, steal, or destroy your data.

• Always carefully review actions taken by Gemini CLI on your behalf to ensure they are correct and align with your intentions.
