For Agents
Open, comment on, escalate, and close Google Cloud support cases programmatically and download case attachments. Lets agents drive Google's support workflow from inside an internal incident system.
Get started with Google Cloud Support API in minutes using your preferred integration method.
# Add to your MCP client config (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf)
{
"jentic": {
"url": "https://api.jentic.com/mcp",
"auth": "oauth"
}
}
# Then ask your agent:
"create a google cloud support case"
# → Jentic returns the GET /events tool with parameter schema, agent executes.What an agent can do with Google Cloud Support API API.
Open Google Cloud support cases under a project, folder, or organization parent
Search cases by priority, product, or update time and read full case details
Add threaded comments to an existing case from an internal ticketing system
Escalate cases with a documented reason when SLOs are at risk
GET STARTED
Use for: I need to open a Google Cloud support case, Search for support cases by priority or product, Add a comment to an existing support case, Escalate a Google Cloud support case to a higher tier
Not supported: Does not raise tickets for non-Google products, manage Google Workspace support, or process billing disputes — use for technical Google Cloud support cases under Customer Care offerings only.
The Google Cloud Support API manages technical support cases for the Customer Care offerings attached to a GCP organization, project, or billing account. It exposes case creation, search, escalation, comment threads, and attachment download so support teams can integrate Google's support workflow into their own ticketing and incident systems. It is most often used to mirror cases into ServiceNow or Jira, automatically escalate critical issues, and pull case histories into postmortems.
Download attachments shared by Google support engineers
Look up valid case classifications before filing a new case
Patterns agents use Google Cloud Support API API for, with concrete tasks.
★ Mirror Cloud Cases Into ServiceNow
Pipe new and updated Google Cloud support cases into an internal ITSM system so on-call engineers can triage everything from one queue. The API exposes case search and per-case get with comments, letting an integration poll for changes or push updates back to Google with a write-through pattern. Most rollouts are live in under a week.
Search for cases with priority=P1 created in the last 24 hours and create a matching ServiceNow incident for each one
Programmatic Case Escalation
Auto-escalate Google Cloud support cases when an internal SLO is at risk. The escalate endpoint accepts a reason and a justification and pushes the case to the next response tier without a human waiting on hold. Pair it with a watcher that monitors customer impact metrics and you have a hands-off escalation path.
If case projects/acme/cases/123 is older than two hours and has priority=P2, call the escalate endpoint with reason=BUSINESS_IMPACT
Postmortem Evidence Collection
Pull the full transcript and attachments of a Google Cloud support case into a postmortem document. The API exposes attachments.list and a download endpoint so an agent or runbook can fetch logs and screenshots Google's support engineers shared, attach them to an incident report, and close the case once everything is captured.
List attachments on case projects/acme/cases/789, download each via the download endpoint, and attach them to the matching incident doc
Agent-Mediated Case Filing
An AI agent embedded in a developer tool can file a Google Cloud support case on behalf of the user when an error matches a known unsupported scenario. Through Jentic the agent searches for 'create google cloud support case', loads the cases.create schema, and submits the case with the right classification without the user leaving the tool.
Use Jentic to call cases.create under projects/acme with display_name='BigQuery slot exhaustion', priority=P2, and the matching case classification
13 endpoints — the google cloud support api manages technical support cases for the customer care offerings attached to a gcp organization, project, or billing account.

Three things that make agents converge on Jentic-routed access.
Credential isolation
Google OAuth 2.0 client credentials and refresh tokens for Cloud Support are stored encrypted in the Jentic vault, isolated per organization. The agent receives only scoped short-lived access tokens at execution time.
Intent-based discovery
Agents search Jentic with intents like 'create google cloud support case' or 'escalate gcp support case' and Jentic returns the matching cases operation along with its request schema.
Time to first call
Direct integration with Cloud Support: 2-4 days for OAuth setup, classification lookup, and case lifecycle handling. Through Jentic: under 1 hour — search, load schema, execute.
Alternatives and complements available in the Jentic catalogue.
Cloud Resource Manager API
Provides the project, folder, and organization parents that Cloud Support cases are filed under
Use Resource Manager to discover the right parent resource before creating a support case
Cloud Tasks API
Queues case-sync jobs to back-pressure heavy mirror integrations
Use Cloud Tasks when you are syncing many cases into an external ITSM and need to throttle write traffic
Cloud Monitoring API
Surfaces the metrics and incidents that often justify opening a Cloud support case
Pull Monitoring incident details into the case description when filing a support case for a regression
Specific to using Google Cloud Support API API through Jentic.
What authentication does the Cloud Support API use?
It uses Google OAuth 2.0 with the https://www.googleapis.com/auth/cloud-platform scope. Through Jentic the OAuth credentials are stored encrypted in the Jentic vault and only short-lived access tokens are sent to the agent runtime.
Can I escalate a support case with the API?
Yes. Call POST on /v2/{name}:escalate with an escalation reason and justification. The case is moved to a higher response tier immediately and the action is recorded in the case timeline.
What are the rate limits for the Cloud Support API?
Google enforces per-organization quotas on case writes such as create, escalate, and close, with read endpoints like search and get allowed at higher rates. Bulk integrations should rely on incremental search with a sort by update_time and avoid retrying writes in tight loops.
How do I create a support case through Jentic?
Search Jentic for 'create google cloud support case', load the cases.create schema, and execute the call against /v2/{parent}/cases with display_name, description, priority, and classification fields. Jentic returns the schema so the agent fills only the required fields.
Does Cloud Support API access require a paid support plan?
Yes. The account or organization must have an active Google Cloud Customer Care offering before cases can be created. The API itself has no per-call price beyond the support plan cost.
Can I download attachments from a support case?
Yes. List the attachments under /v2/{parent}/attachments and call the download endpoint at /v2/{name}:download to stream the file contents. This is useful when collecting Google-supplied logs into an internal postmortem.
