Gws Chat

A comprehensive CLI wrapper for Google Chat's API that handles spaces, messages, custom emojis, and media uploads through the gws tool. You'll reach for this when automating chat operations, bulk managing workspace conversations, or integrating Chat into deployment pipelines. It covers the full API surface from basic message sending to advanced admin functions like space searching and import processes. The schema inspection commands are genuinely helpful for discovering required parameters before making API calls. Requires Google Workspace authentication and the gws binary installed locally.
