About: I am a Senior Developer Relations Engineer at Google for Google Workspace.
For developers building on the Google Workspace platform, the Google Workspace Developer Tools extension for VS Code offers a significant productivity boost by integrating essential tools directly into your editor.
Its first feature is the intelligent OAuth2 scope linting, which provides real-time warnings and valuable information for the Google Workspace OAuth2 scopes you use within your code. As you write, the extension actively validates these, highlighting restricted and sensitive scopes.
Please also suggest other functionality! I am currently working on adding a preview for Google Workspace Cards within the VSCode extension.
OAuth scope headaches are way too real, so this is super handy. Does it also suggest alternatives for restricted scopes?
It does now through a basic heuristic, might not work for all scopes and APIs.
this is extremely impressive i always hated second guessing my scopes in the middle of a project you think this will cut down on the usual permission headaches
pretty cool seeing stuff like this baked right in, feels like a big time saver - i always wonder tho, small helpful tweaks or big overhauls, which actually leads to better work long run?
