Google Cloud Run — Printing Press CLI

Prerequisites: Install the CLI

This skill drives the

cloud-run-admin-pp-cli

binary. You must verify the CLI is installed before invoking any command from this skill. If it is missing, install it first:

Install via the Printing Press installer:

bash

npx -y @mvanhorn/printing-press install cloud-run-admin --cli-only

Verify:
```
cloud-run-admin-pp-cli --version
```
Ensure
```
$GOPATH/bin
```
(or
```
$HOME/go/bin
```
) is on
```
$PATH
```
.

If the

npx

install fails (no Node, offline, etc.), fall back to a direct Go install (requires Go 1.25+):

bash

go install github.com/mvanhorn/printing-press-library/library/cloud/cloud-run-admin/cmd/cloud-run-admin-pp-cli@latest

--version

reports "command not found" after install, the install step did not put the binary on

$PATH

. Do not proceed with skill commands until verification succeeds.

This CLI wraps the Cloud Run Admin API directly for services, jobs, executions, tasks, operations, revisions, and IAM helpers. It complements gcloud by giving agents a smaller API-shaped surface with JSON-first output, field selection, local sync, search, analytics, and workflow commands.

When to Use This CLI

Use this CLI when an agent or script needs focused Cloud Run Admin API access without navigating the full gcloud surface. It is strongest for read-heavy inspection, local inventory sync, search, field-selected JSON, and workflows that correlate services, jobs, executions, revisions, tasks, and operations.

Unique Capabilities

These capabilities aren't available in any other tool for this API.

Agent-native Cloud Run operations

services list
— Lists Cloud Run services through the Admin API with agent-friendly JSON, compact output, and field selection.
Use this when an agent needs a compact inventory of Cloud Run services in a project and region.
bash
```
cloud-run-admin-pp-cli services list projects/PROJECT_ID/locations/REGION --agent --select services.name,services.uri,nextPageToken
```

Local state and analysis

sync
— Syncs Cloud Run resources into a local SQLite store so services, jobs, revisions, executions, tasks, and operations can be searched without repeating every API call.
Use this before offline search, SQL inspection, or repeated multi-resource analysis.
bash
```
cloud-run-admin-pp-cli sync --json
```
search
— Searches synced Cloud Run inventory locally or falls back to live API calls depending on the data-source mode.
Use this when you need to locate Cloud Run resources by remembered fragments.
bash
```
cloud-run-admin-pp-cli search "api" --type services --json --select resource_type,title
```
analytics
— Runs local analysis against synced Cloud Run data for inventory and status-oriented questions.
Use this after sync when the question is about trends or inventory health rather than a single resource.
bash
```
cloud-run-admin-pp-cli analytics --json
```

Workflow status checks

workflow
— Provides compound workflows that combine multiple Cloud Run Admin API operations into one operator-facing flow.
Use this when the task spans more than one Cloud Run resource type.
bash
```
cloud-run-admin-pp-cli workflow --help
```

HTTP Transport

This CLI uses Chrome-compatible HTTP transport for browser-facing endpoints. It does not require a resident browser process for normal API calls.

Command Reference

cloud-run-admin-pp-cli cloud-run-admin-jobs create

Finding the right command

When you know what you want to do but not which command does it, ask the CLI directly:

bash

cloud-run-admin-pp-cli which "<capability in your own words>"

which

resolves a natural-language capability query to the best matching command from this CLI's curated feature index. Exit code

means at least one match; exit code

means no confident match — fall back to

--help

or use a narrower query.

Recipes

Find the right Cloud Run command

bash

cloud-run-admin-pp-cli which "show service revisions" --json

Use intent search before calling a specific Cloud Run Admin command.

List services with compact agent output

bash

cloud-run-admin-pp-cli services list projects/PROJECT_ID/locations/REGION --agent --select services.name,services.uri,nextPageToken

Combines agent defaults with field selection so agents avoid parsing large service payloads.

Search synced inventory

bash

cloud-run-admin-pp-cli search "api" --type services --json --select resource_type,title

Search local Cloud Run inventory after a sync.

Auth Setup

Cloud Run Admin uses Google OAuth bearer tokens with the cloud-platform scope. For local use, run

gcloud auth print-access-token

and export the value as

CLOUD_RUN_ADMIN_OAUTH2C

; do not commit the token or paste it into docs.

Run

cloud-run-admin-pp-cli doctor

to verify setup.

Agent Mode

Add

--agent

to any command. Expands to:

--json --compact --no-input --no-color --yes

Pipeable — JSON on stdout, errors on stderr
Filterable —
```
--select
```
keeps a subset of fields. Dotted paths descend into nested structures; arrays traverse element-wise. Critical for keeping context small on verbose APIs:
bash
```
cloud-run-admin-pp-cli cloud-run-admin-jobs list mock-value --agent --select id,name,status
```
Previewable —
```
--dry-run
```
shows the request without sending
Offline-friendly — sync/search commands can use the local SQLite store when available
Non-interactive — never prompts, every input is a flag
Explicit retries — use
```
--idempotent
```
only when an already-existing create should count as success, and
```
--ignore-missing
```
only when a missing delete target should count as success

Response envelope

Commands that read from the local store or the API wrap output in a provenance envelope:

json

{
  "meta": {"source": "live" | "local", "synced_at": "...", "reason": "..."},
  "results": <data>
}

Parse

.results

for data and

.meta.source

to know whether it's live or local. A human-readable

N results (live)

summary is printed to stderr only when stdout is a terminal — piped/agent consumers get pure JSON on stdout.

Agent Feedback

When you (or the agent) notice something off about this CLI, record it:

cloud-run-admin-pp-cli feedback "the --since flag is inclusive but docs say exclusive"
cloud-run-admin-pp-cli feedback --stdin < notes.txt
cloud-run-admin-pp-cli feedback list --json --limit 10

Entries are stored locally at

~/.cloud-run-admin-pp-cli/feedback.jsonl

. They are never POSTed unless

CLOUD_RUN_ADMIN_FEEDBACK_ENDPOINT

is set AND either

--send

is passed or

CLOUD_RUN_ADMIN_FEEDBACK_AUTO_SEND=true

. Default behavior is local-only.

Write what surprised you, not a bug report. Short, specific, one line: that is the part that compounds.

Output Delivery

Every command accepts

--deliver <sink>

. The output goes to the named sink in addition to (or instead of) stdout, so agents can route command results without hand-piping. Three sinks are supported:

Sink	Effect
`stdout`	Default; write to stdout only
`file:<path>`	Atomically write output to `<path>` (tmp + rename)
`webhook:<url>`	POST the output body to the URL ( `application/json` or `application/x-ndjson` when `--compact` )

Unknown schemes are refused with a structured error naming the supported set. Webhook failures return non-zero and log the URL + HTTP status on stderr.

Named Profiles

A profile is a saved set of flag values, reused across invocations. Use it when a scheduled agent calls the same command every run with the same configuration - HeyGen's "Beacon" pattern.

cloud-run-admin-pp-cli profile save briefing --json
cloud-run-admin-pp-cli --profile briefing cloud-run-admin-jobs list mock-value
cloud-run-admin-pp-cli profile list --json
cloud-run-admin-pp-cli profile show briefing
cloud-run-admin-pp-cli profile delete briefing --yes

Explicit flags always win over profile values; profile values win over defaults.

agent-context

lists all available profiles under

available_profiles

so introspecting agents discover them at runtime.

Exit Codes

Code	Meaning
0	Success
2	Usage error (wrong arguments)
3	Resource not found
4	Authentication required
5	API error (upstream issue)
7	Rate limited (wait and retry)
10	Config error

Direct Use

Check if installed:
```
which cloud-run-admin-pp-cli
```
If not found, offer to install (see Prerequisites at the top of this skill).
Match the user query to the best command from the Unique Capabilities and Command Reference above.

Execute with the

--agent

flag:

bash

cloud-run-admin-pp-cli <command> [subcommand] [args] --agent

If ambiguous, drill into subcommand help:
```
cloud-run-admin-pp-cli <command> --help
```
