#todo

Fast, script-friendly CLI for Gmail, Calendar, Chat, Classroom, Drive, Docs, Slides, Sheets, Forms, Apps Script, Contacts, Tasks, People, Groups (Workspace), and Keep (Workspace-only). JSON-first output, multiple accounts, and least-privilege auth built in.

Need to consider this on gpupoet. Would be an interesting experience to track usage and see if it gets used.

We propose a new JavaScript interface that allows web developers to expose their web application functionality as "tools" - JavaScript functions with natural language descriptions and structured schemas that can be invoked by AI agents, browser assistants, and assistive technologies. Web pages that use WebMCP can be thought of as Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers that implement tools in client-side script instead of on the backend. WebMCP enables collaborative workflows where users and agents work together within the same web interface, leveraging existing application logic while maintaining shared context and user control.

There are several advantages to using the web to connect agents to services:

Businesses near-universally already offer their services via the web.

WebMCP allows them to leverage their existing business logic and UI, providing a quick, simple, and incremental way to integrate with agents. They don't have to re-architect their product to fit the API shape of a given agent. This is especially true when the logic is already heavily client-side.

Enables visually rich, cooperative interplay between a user, web page, and agent with shared context.

Users often start with a vague goal which is refined over time. Consider a user browsing for a high-value purchase. The user may prefer to start their journey on a specific page, ask their agent to perform some of the more tedious actions ("find me some options for a dress that's appropriate for a summer wedding, preferably red or orange, short or no sleeves and no embellishments"), and then take back over to browse among the agent-selected options.

Allows authors to serve humans and agents from one source

The human-use web is not going away. Integrating agents into it prevents fragmentation of their service and allows them to keep ownership of their interface, branding and connection with their users.

WebMCP is a proposal for a web API that enables web pages to provide agent-specific paths in their UI. With WebMCP, agent-service interaction takes place via app-controlled UI, providing a shared context available to app, agent, and user. In contrast to backend integrations, WebMCP tools are available to an agent only once it has loaded a page and they execute on the client. Page content and actuation remain available to the agent (and the user) but the agent also has access to tools which it can use to achieve its goal more directly.

Yet today it often seems like every project — big or small — gets mired in a slog of reviews, permits and delays. This saps our innovative spirit, reduces citizens’ trust that government can get things done and ultimately slows our progress as a nation.

I should switch from debian to this maybe.
