Individual skill
workload-manager-basics
Use this skill to manage Google Cloud Workload Manager evaluations, rules, scanned resources, and validation results by using public client libraries and the REST API. Use when you need to inspect workload best-practice rules, create and run evaluations for Google Cloud general best practices, SAP, SQL Server, or custom organizational rules, review violations, export results to BigQuery, or automate Workload Manager through client libraries because no service-specific public CLI or MCP server is available. Don't use for general Google Compute Engine instance management, VPC configuration, or standard IAM auditing.

# Workload Manager Basics
Workload Manager validates enterprise workloads against Google Cloud best
practices and recommendations. The public client libraries are centered on
evaluations: define a resource scope, choose built-in or custom rules, run an
evaluation, then inspect results and scanned resources.
