Pp Cloud Run Admin
Purpose
A focused Cloud Run Admin API CLI with agent-native output, local inventory, and command discovery. Trigger phrases: inspect Cloud Run services, list Cloud Run jobs, find Cloud Run revisions, check Cloud Run executions, search Cloud Run inventory.
Description
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:
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+):
go install github.com/mvanhorn/printing-press-library/library/cloud/cloud-run-admin/cmd/cloud-run-admin-pp-cli@latest
If --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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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— Creates a Job.cloud-run-admin-pp-cli cloud-run-admin-jobs list— Lists Jobs.cloud-run-admin-pp-cli cloud-run-admin-jobs run— Triggers creation of a new Execution of this Job.

Finding the right command
When you know what you want to do but not which command does it, ask the CLI directly:
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 0 means at least one match; exit code 2 means no confident match — fall back to --help or use a narrower query.
Recipes
Find the right Cloud Run command
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
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
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 —
--selectkeeps a subset of fields. Dotted paths descend into nested structures; arrays traverse element-wise. Critical for keeping context small on verbose APIs:cloud-run-admin-pp-cli cloud-run-admin-jobs list mock-value --agent --select id,name,status -
Previewable —
--dry-runshows 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
--idempotentonly when an already-existing create should count as success, and--ignore-missingonly 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:
{
"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.
