create — Creates a custom emoji. Custom emojis are only available for Google Workspace accounts, and the administrator must turn custom emojis on for the organization. For more information, see Learn about custom emojis in Google Chat and Manage custom emoji permissions.delete — Deletes a custom emoji. By default, users can only delete custom emoji they created. Emoji managers assigned by the administrator can delete any custom emoji in the organization. See Learn about custom emojis in Google Chat. Custom emojis are only available for Google Workspace accounts, and the administrator must turn custom emojis on for the organization.get — Returns details about a custom emoji. Custom emojis are only available for Google Workspace accounts, and the administrator must turn custom emojis on for the organization. For more information, see Learn about custom emojis in Google Chat and Manage custom emoji permissions.list — Lists custom emojis visible to the authenticated user. Custom emojis are only available for Google Workspace accounts, and the administrator must turn custom emojis on for the organization. For more information, see Learn about custom emojis in Google Chat and Manage custom emoji permissions.download — Downloads media. Download is supported on the URI /v1/media/{+name}?alt=media.upload — Uploads an attachment. For an example, see Upload media as a file attachment.completeImport — Completes the import process for the specified space and makes it visible to users.create — Creates a space. Can be used to create a named space, or a group chat in Import mode. For an example, see Create a space.delete — Deletes a named space.

For an example, see Delete a space.findDirectMessage — Returns the existing direct message with the specified user. If no direct message space is found, returns a 404 NOT_FOUND error. For an example, see Find a direct message. With app authentication, returns the direct message space between the specified user and the calling Chat app.get — Returns details about a space. For an example, see Get details about a space.list — Lists spaces the caller is a member of. Group chats and DMs aren't listed until the first message is sent. For an example, see List spaces.patch — Updates a space. For an example, see Update a space. If you're updating the displayName field and receive the error message ALREADY_EXISTS, try a different display name.. An existing space within the Google Workspace organization might already use this display name.search — Returns a list of spaces in a Google Workspace organization based on an administrator's search. In the request, set use_admin_access to true. For an example, see Search for and manage spaces.setup — Creates a space and adds specified users to it. The calling user is automatically added to the space, and shouldn't be specified as a membership in the request. For an example, see Set up a space with initial members. To specify the human members to add, add memberships with the appropriate membership.member.name. To add a human user, use users/{user}, where {user} can be the email address for the user.members — Operations on the 'members' resourcemessages — Operations on the 'messages' resourcespaceEvents — Operations on the 'spaceEvents' resourcespaces — Operations on the 'spaces' resourceBefore calling any API method, inspect it:

Skill source recorded
Skill instructions are recorded. This is not a runtime test, safety guarantee or compatibility certification.

Listed tools are metadata hints, not tested compatibility. Agent prompts are suggested handoffs.
Check the source for dependencies, API keys and third-party costs. A public repository does not mean every service is free.
Repository metadata and review signals are advisory. Popularity, source discovery and successful execution are different facts.
Version reported in registry metadata; check source releases before relying on it.
