The new Google Workspace Developer Tools for Visual Studio Code is here to streamline your development process. This extension helps you write cleaner, more secure code by providing intelligent OAuth2 scope management directly in your editor.
Key Features
- Real-Time Scope Validation: Instantly catch typos and outdated scopes. The extension validates against the official Google API registry as you type.
- Security Insights: Get immediate feedback on the security implications of each scope. The extension identifies restricted, sensitive, and non-sensitive scopes, helping you adhere to the principle of least privilege.
- In-Editor Documentation: Hover over any scope to see a detailed description, its security classification, and a link to the official documentation.
- AI-Powered Development: The extension integrates with the Model Context Protocol (MCP) to enhance your AI coding assistant with Google Workspace-specific knowledge.
- Universal Language Support: Validate scopes in any text file, from JavaScript and Python to JSON and YAML.
Use Cases
- Prevent Runtime Errors: Avoid difficult-to-debug authentication errors by catching invalid scopes before you run your code.
- Simplify Security Reviews: Make informed decisions about scope usage with immediate feedback on restricted and sensitive scopes.
- Accelerate Development: Eliminate the need to switch between your editor and the documentation.

Ctrl+Shift+XorCmd+Shift+X). - Search for "Google Workspace Developer Tools".

The extension is also available on the Visual Studio Marketplace and the Open VSX Registry.
