## What it does

This command connects Claude Code to the Google Workspace Alert Center API (v1beta1). It handles tasks across the `alerts` and `v1beta1` resources: fetching alerts, inspecting incident metadata, marking alerts for 30-day deletion, or running batch undelete operations.

Before executing API calls, the command instructs the agent to inspect parameter schemas using `gws schema alertcenter.<resource>.<method>`. The agent formats path flags with `--params` and request payloads with `--json`. Without an installed `gws` binary and active authentication verified via `gws auth status`, every execution fails immediately.

## Requirements
- Works with: Google Workspace

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **claude-code-templates**
```bash
npx claude-code-templates@latest --command google-workspace/gws-alertcenter
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.claude/commands/gws-alertcenter.md` — Call it with /gws-alertcenter. For all projects use ~/.claude/commands/

### Codex

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.codex/prompts/gws-alertcenter.md` — Call it with /prompts:gws-alertcenter. Codex marks this format deprecated in favour of skills

### GitHub Copilot

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/prompts/gws-alertcenter.prompt.md`

### Gemini CLI

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.gemini/commands/gws-alertcenter.toml` — Gemini stores commands as TOML: the prompt text goes into the prompt field

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/davila7/claude-code-templates/tree/HEAD/cli-tool/components/commands/google-workspace/gws-alertcenter.md

## When to use it
- fetch security alerts across the Google Workspace domain
- inspect alert metadata and details for a specific incident
- soft-delete or batch undelete alerts within the 30-day retention window
- read or update customer-level Alert Center settings

## Example prompts
- List all security alerts using /gws-alertcenter alerts list
- Check metadata for an alert with /gws-alertcenter alerts getMetadata --params id=ALERT_ID
- Restore a deleted alert using /gws-alertcenter alerts undelete --params id=ALERT_ID

# Google Workspace Alertcenter

Execute Google Workspace Alertcenter operations: $ARGUMENTS

## Prerequisites

- Google Workspace CLI (`gws`) must be installed
- Authentication configured: Run `gws auth status` to verify
- Review `gws alertcenter --help` for all available commands

## Available Resources and Methods

# alertcenter (v1beta1)

> **PREREQUISITE:** Read `../gws-shared/SKILL.md` for auth, global flags, and security rules. If missing, run `gws generate-skills` to create it.

```bash
gws alertcenter <resource> <method> [flags]
```

## API Resources

### alerts

  - `batchDelete` — Performs batch delete operation on alerts.
  - `batchUndelete` — Performs batch undelete operation on alerts.
  - `delete` — Marks the specified alert for deletion. An alert that has been marked for deletion is removed from Alert Center after 30 days. Marking an alert for deletion has no effect on an alert which has already been marked for deletion. Attempting to mark a nonexistent alert for deletion results in a `NOT_FOUND` error.
  - `get` — Gets the specified alert. Attempting to get a nonexistent alert returns `NOT_FOUND` error.
  - `getMetadata` — Returns the metadata of an alert. Attempting to get metadata for a non-existent alert returns `NOT_FOUND` error.
  - `list` — Lists the alerts.
  - `undelete` — Restores, or "undeletes", an alert that was marked for deletion within the past 30 days. Attempting to undelete an alert which was marked for deletion over 30 days ago (which has been removed from the Alert Center database) or a nonexistent alert returns a `NOT_FOUND` error. Attempting to undelete an alert which has not been marked for deletion has no effect.
  - `feedback` — Operations on the 'feedback' resource

### v1beta1

  - `getSettings` — Returns customer-level settings.
  - `updateSettings` — Updates the customer-level settings.

## Discovering Commands

Before calling any API method, inspect it:

```bash
# Browse resources and methods
gws alertcenter --help

# Inspect a method's required params, types, and defaults
gws schema alertcenter.<resource>.<method>
```

Use `gws schema` output to build your `--params` and `--json` flags.

## Usage

```bash
# List available resources and methods
gws alertcenter --help

# Inspect method schema before calling
gws schema alertcenter.<resource>.<method>

# Execute command with arguments
gws alertcenter $ARGUMENTS
```

## Task

Execute the requested Alertcenter operation: $ARGUMENTS

1. **Verify Prerequisites**
   - Check `gws` is installed: `gws --version`
   - Verify authentication: `gws auth status`
   - Review available commands: `gws alertcenter --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
