This could make it easier to plug AI into Workspace APIs, but it's not yet an official Google product.

Google’s new command line tool can plug OpenClaw into your Workspace data

- Start date
The market for a cloud infrastructure with precisely zero AI anything has to be getting big enough for a solution to arrive, right?

I'm happy to see a CLI-based tool for manipulating Workspace data via deterministic scripts. I've often wanted such a thing when doing repetitive tasks.
The thought of connecting OpenClaw to it makes me throw up in my mouth a little.

Even if you like the idea of this, think twice before building serious or mission-critical workflows around it.
It may end up in Google's graveyard...

Sure, I could do that, or I could just pour a bunch of acid on my computer and destroy my data that way.

On one hand, Google bans the use of openclaw using Google Ultra antigravity credentials.
On the other hand, Google promotes the use of Google Ultra credentials for openclaw.

Also I would like to take this moment to note that in the year 2026 google still does not allow programmatic management of google workspace email blocklists. It must be done through the admin console ui.

Countdown to a flood of stories about people’s entire gmails and google drives being deleted starting now.

This is an odd turnaround by Google from nearly 2 weeks ago, when folks were complaining about about being outright banend after paying a full annual subscription to Google, because they used OpenClaw. Posting responses from Google stating the the use of Openclaw violated ToS and the account owners were SOL:

As a security guy? every day, I wake up to new headlines and have to ask myself "What fresh goatfuckery have I wandered into now?"
Seriously, every day it's am epic new gaping security debacle, leveraging AI in some stupid way that nobody has thought of before.

Deleted is far from the worse that can happen.
Wait for stories of Claw sending random emails on your name to random contacts.

By the way, whatever happened to that guy who explicitly told his agent not to delete any data?

This isn't correct. Users were banned for a workaround that allowed them to connect OpenClaw to Antigravity (a fixed rate service) and bypass API fees. People who connected to OpenClaw via the API were never banned as far as I can tell.

I’ve been using the open-source GAM project for a long time to mange Google Workspace from a command line. I wonder whether this new CLI could be a usable official replacement for GAM for mere mortal sysadmins on a day-to-day basis, or if like MgGraph it’ll be so abstruse as to require programming tools or AI.

They mean that you could simply choose to use it with deterministic scripting. The AI tool integration is optional (but clearly encouraged).
