GoogleSheetsTools now supports service account authentication. This enables secure, headless server-side access aligned with enterprise policies and CI/CD workflows — no manual OAuth flows or user tokens required. It’s a drop-in option; no migration is needed for existing implementations.

**Details**

- Service account–based auth for predictable, policy-controlled access
- Ideal for backend jobs, schedulers, and multi-environment deployments
- Reduces operational risk from expired or user-scoped tokens

**Who this is for:** Enterprises standardizing on service accounts and teams running automated or headless integrations.
