Pulls audit logs and usage reports from Google Workspace Admin SDK, giving you programmatic access to who did what and when in your organization. You can track admin console activities, monitor Drive usage patterns, generate customer usage summaries, and set up real-time notifications for security events. The CLI wraps the reports_v1 API with straightforward commands for each resource type. It's essential for compliance reporting, security monitoring, and understanding how your team actually uses Google Workspace tools. The schema inspection feature helps you build the right queries without constantly referring to Google's API docs.
