# Google Workspace People
Execute Google Workspace People operations: $ARGUMENTS
## Prerequisites
- Google Workspace CLI (`gws`) must be installed
- Authentication configured: Run `gws auth status` to verify
- Review `gws people --help` for all available commands
## Available Resources and Methods
# people (v1)
> **PREREQUISITE:** Read `../gws-shared/SKILL.md` for auth, global flags, and security rules. If missing, run `gws generate-skills` to create it.
```bash
gws people <resource> <method> [flags]
```
## API Resources
### contactGroups
- `batchGet` — Get a list of contact groups owned by the authenticated user by specifying a list of contact group resource names.
- `create` — Create a new contact group owned by the authenticated user. Created contact group names must be unique to the users contact groups. Attempting to create a group with a duplicate name will return a HTTP 409 error. Mutate requests for the same user should be sent sequentially to avoid increased latency and failures.
- `delete` — Delete an existing contact group owned by the authenticated user by specifying a contact group resource name. Mutate requests for the same user should be sent sequentially to avoid increased latency and failures.
- `get` — Get a specific contact group owned by the authenticated user by specifying a contact group resource name.
- `list` — List all contact groups owned by the authenticated user. Members of the contact groups are not populated.
- `update` — Update the name of an existing contact group owned by the authenticated user. Updated contact group names must be unique to the users contact groups. Attempting to create a group with a duplicate name will return a HTTP 409 error. Mutate requests for the same user should be sent sequentially to avoid increased latency and failures.
- `members` — Operations on the 'members' resource
### otherContacts
- `copyOtherContactToMyContactsGroup` — Copies an "Other contact" to a new contact in the user's "myContacts" group Mutate requests for the same user should be sent sequentially to avoid increased latency and failures.
- `list` — List all "Other contacts", that is contacts that are not in a contact group. "Other contacts" are typically auto created contacts from interactions. Sync tokens expire 7 days after the full sync. A request with an expired sync token will get an error with an [google.rpc.ErrorInfo](https://cloud.google.com/apis/design/errors#error_info) with reason "EXPIRED_SYNC_TOKEN". In the case of such an error clients should make a full sync request without a `sync_token`.
- `search` — Provides a list of contacts in the authenticated user's other contacts that matches the search query. The query matches on a contact's `names`, `emailAddresses`, and `phoneNumbers` fields that are from the OTHER_CONTACT source. **IMPORTANT**: Before searching, clients should send a warmup request with an empty query to update the cache. See https://developers.google.com/people/v1/other-contacts#search_the_users_other_contacts
### people
- `batchCreateContacts` — Create a batch of new contacts and return the PersonResponses for the newly Mutate requests for the same user should be sent sequentially to avoid increased latency and failures.
- `batchDeleteContacts` — Delete a batch of contacts. Any non-contact data will not be deleted. Mutate requests for the same user should be sent sequentially to avoid increased latency and failures.
- `batchUpdateContacts` — Update a batch of contacts and return a map of resource names to PersonResponses for the updated contacts. Mutate requests for the same user should be sent sequentially to avoid increased latency and failures.
- `createContact` — Create a new contact and return the person resource for that contact. The request returns a 400 error if more than one field is specified on a field that is a singleton for contact sources: * biographies * birthdays * genders * names Mutate requests for the same user should be sent sequentially to avoid increased latency and failures.
- `deleteContact` — Delete a contact person. Any non-contact data will not be deleted. Mutate requests for the same user should be sent sequentially to avoid increased latency and failures.
- `deleteContactPhoto` — Delete a contact's photo. Mutate requests for the same user should be done sequentially to avoid // lock contention.
- `get` — Provides information about a person by specifying a resource name. Use `people/me` to indicate the authenticated user. The request returns a 400 error if 'personFields' is not specified.
- `getBatchGet` — Provides information about a list of specific people by specifying a list of requested resource names. Use `people/me` to indicate the authenticated user. The request returns a 400 error if 'personFields' is not specified.
- `listDirectoryPeople` — Provides a list of domain profiles and domain contacts in the authenticated user's domain directory. When the `sync_token` is specified, resources deleted since the last sync will be returned as a person with `PersonMetadata.deleted` set to true. When the `page_token` or `sync_token` is specified, all other request parameters must match the first call. Writes may have a propagation delay of several minutes for sync requests. Incremental syncs are not intended for read-after-write use cases.
- `searchContacts` — Provides a list of contacts in the authenticated user's grouped contacts that matches the search query. The query matches on a contact's `names`, `nickNames`, `emailAddresses`, `phoneNumbers`, and `organizations` fields that are from the CONTACT source. **IMPORTANT**: Before searching, clients should send a warmup request with an empty query to update the cache. See https://developers.google.com/people/v1/contacts#search_the_users_contacts
- `searchDirectoryPeople` — Provides a list of domain profiles and domain contacts in the authenticated user's domain directory that match the search query.
- `updateContact` — Update contact data for an existing contact person. Any non-contact data will not be modified. Any non-contact data in the person to update will be ignored. All fields specified in the `update_mask` will be replaced. The server returns a 400 error if `person.metadata.sources` is not specified for the contact to be updated or if there is no contact source.
- `updateContactPhoto` — Update a contact's photo. Mutate requests for the same user should be sent sequentially to avoid increased latency and failures.
- `connections` — Operations on the 'connections' resource
## Discovering Commands
Before calling any API method, inspect it:
```bash
# Browse resources and methods
gws people --help
# Inspect a method's required params, types, and defaults
gws schema people.<resource>.<method>
```
Use `gws schema` output to build your `--params` and `--json` flags.
## Usage
```bash
# List available resources and methods
gws people --help
# Inspect method schema before calling
gws schema people.<resource>.<method>
# Execute command with arguments
gws people $ARGUMENTS
```
## Task
Execute the requested People operation: $ARGUMENTS
1. **Verify Prerequisites**
- Check `gws` is installed: `gws --version`
- Verify authentication: `gws auth status`
- Review available commands: `gws people --help`
2. **Inspect Method Schema**
- Before calling any method, inspect its parameters
- Use `gws schema` to understand required fields
- Review parameter types and constraints
3. **Execute Operation**
- Build command with appropriate flags
- Use `--params` for query/path parameters
- Use `--json` for request body
- Handle pagination with `--max-results` or `--page-token`
4. **Error Handling**
- Check command output for errors
- Review API quotas and rate limits
- Handle authentication issues
- Retry transient failures
