Google Provider Update - August 2026

· 3 min read
Technologist and Cloud Consultant

We've released an update to the StackQL Google provider, regenerated from the latest Google API discovery documents. The google provider now covers 187 services, 2,183 resources and over 9,100 operations - up from 179 services, 1,966 resources and 8,423 operations in the previous release. The companion providers in the google family (googleworkspace, googleadmin and firebase) were regenerated in the same pass.

New Services

Eleven services are new in this release:

ServiceDescription
agentregistryCentralized catalog to store, discover and govern MCP servers, tools and AI agents within Google Cloud
agentidentityIdentities and authorization for AI agents - auth providers, authorizations and access summaries
agentidentitycredentialsShort-lived credential issuance for agent identities
cesGemini Enterprise for Customer Experience - agents, apps, deployments, conversations, guardrails and tool schemas
hypercomputeclusterCluster Director - deploy, manage and monitor AI/ML and HPC clusters
databasecenterOrganization-wide database fleet health monitoring across projects and folders
metastoreDataproc Metastore - services, backups, federations, metadata imports and migrations
threatintelligenceGoogle Threat Intelligence - alerts, findings, documents and configurations
cloudnumberregistryIP address management - realms, registry books, custom and discovered ranges
developerknowledgeProgrammatic access to Google developer documentation
healthGoogle Health API (v4) - health and fitness metrics, data points, devices and subscriptions

Expanded Coverage in Existing Services

  • compute - the largest expansion in this release, 73 new resources: capacity planning (future_reservations, reservation_slots, reservation_blocks and reservation_sub_blocks versions), instant_snapshot_groups and regional snapshot resources, cross_site_networks and wire_groups, organization_security_policies, network_firewall_policies, rollouts and rollout_plans, plus per-resource IAM policy resources across addresses, firewalls, health checks, routes, target proxies and more
  • aiplatform (Vertex AI) - agent engine build-out: agents, memory_banks, sandbox_environments (with templates and snapshots), online_evaluators, evaluation_metrics, responses and semantic governance policy resources
  • oracledatabase - GoldenGate integration: deployments, deployment environments/types/versions, connections and connection assignments, plus autonomous database refreshable clones
  • dataplex - universal catalog governance: data_domains, data_products, data_assets, metadata_feeds and change_requests
  • redis - token-based auth: token_auth_users, auth_tokens and acl_policies
  • networksecurity - dns_threat_detectors and Secure Access Connect realms and attachments
  • cloudkms - single_tenant_hsm_instances, key deletion proposals and retired_resources
  • observability - log analytics buckets, datasets, links, views and scope settings

Another 50+ services picked up incremental resources and operations, including discoveryengine, contactcenterinsights, netapp, artifactregistry, assuredworkloads and dataproc.

Removed Services

Google has retired several APIs since the last release, and they are removed from the provider accordingly:

  • datalabeling - AI Platform Data Labeling was shut down
  • integrations - Application Integration no longer publishes a discovery document
  • lifesciences - Cloud Life Sciences was shut down
  • dataplex Explore resources (content, environments, sessions) were removed upstream

The duplicate *_aggregated helper resources in compute were also consolidated - cross-zone queries are served by the primary resources, so a zone-less SELECT fans out across all zones:

SELECT name, status, machineType, zone
FROM google.compute.instances
WHERE project = 'my-project';

Example: Open Firewall Audit

Ingress rules open to the entire internet, and what they allow:

SELECT
name,
direction,
sourceRanges,
allowed
FROM google.compute.firewalls
WHERE project = 'my-project'
AND sourceRanges LIKE '%0.0.0.0/0%';

Get Started

Pull the latest provider from the public registry:

stackql registry pull google;

Authenticate with a service account key in the GOOGLE_CREDENTIALS environment variable (or interactively via gcloud auth login), then explore:

SELECT
json_extract(config, '$.name') AS api,
state
FROM google.serviceusage.services
WHERE parent = 'my-project'
AND parentType = 'projects'
AND filter = 'state:ENABLED';

Provider docs, including getting-started queries for each provider in the family, are at google-provider.stackql.io, googleworkspace-provider.stackql.io, googleadmin-provider.stackql.io and firebase-provider.stackql.io. Visit us on GitHub and let us know how you're using it.
