Get details of a specific contact group, including its members.
AI agents call getPeopleContactGroup to retrieve information from Google Workspace MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves contact group information and member lists without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. It is a read-only query operation with minimal security risk, as it only exposes existing contact data that the authorized user should already have access to within Google Workspace.
