## What it does

\`gws-admin-reports` runs Google Workspace Admin Reports operations. It can retrieve activity records for an account and its applications, fetch usage reports for customers, users, or entities, and start or stop activity notification channels.

Before a call, the command checks that Google Workspace CLI is installed and authentication is configured. It then directs the agent to inspect available operations and the chosen method’s schema with `gws schema`. Use `--params` for query or path parameters, `--json` for a request body, and pagination flags when needed. You need `gws` and configured authentication. The command also relies on `../gws-shared/SKILL.md` for shared auth and security guidance; if it is missing, run `gws generate-skills` first.

## Requirements
- Works with: Google Workspace
