I doubt how many admins are comfortable with (or allowed to) using a non-approved third-party tool to manage their organization, despite open source and all that

The third party tool is based on the official google-api-python-client. It’s about as non-approved as ad hoc shell scripts.

  > It’s about as non-approved as ad hoc shell scripts. That's not a fair comparison. There's a big difference between your own ad hoc shell script (or command line or whatever) that you fully understand, and downloading and running third party code without any kind of audit. Meanwhile, the industry keeps talking about "software supply chain".

  `src/gam/__init__.py` alone is over 3 MB of code that's not from `google-api-python-client`. Combine all the ad hoc shell scripts I've ever written and it probably wouldn't be that much.
