gws-sheets-read
Read cell values from a Google Sheet by spreadsheet ID and range
by googleworkspaceFree
Description
gws-sheets-read is an agent skill from the Google Workspace CLI project, listed on skills.sh. It reads cell values from a Google Sheet, identified by its spreadsheet ID and a range. The range can be a specific block of cells, such as Sheet1!A1:D10, or an entire sheet name to read the whole tab. The listing says it is a read-only operation and never modifies the spreadsheet, which makes it safe to use for looking up figures, checking a list or feeding data into another step. It is run with the --spreadsheet and --range flags, and the range is required. The skill depends on the shared gws authentication and security rules, which the agent reads first, and it can generate them if they are missing. It suits people who want an agent to pull numbers or rows from a sheet for a summary, a report or a check, while the sheet itself stays exactly as it is, under the account the user has authorised.…
