Overview
What It Does
Workload Manager Basics packages a focused devops & cloud workflow for an AI agent. Use this skill to manage Google Cloud Workload Manager evaluations, rules, scanned resources, and validation results by using public client libraries and the REST API. Use when you need to inspect workload best-practice rules, create and run evaluations for Google Cloud general best practices, SAP, SQL Server, or custom organizational rules, review violations, export results to BigQuery, or automate Workload Manager through client libraries because no service-specific public CLI or MCP server is available. Don't use for general Google Compute Engine instance management, VPC configuration, or standard IAM auditing. It is best suited to users who can review the resulting actions and provide only the accounts, files, or command access needed for the task. It is not a substitute for human approval on destructive, financial, security-sensitive, or public-facing actions.
