How HumDay uses it
- You describe the outcome. Not this operation by name — what you want to happen. HumDay works out which operations it needs.
- The contract names it. Before anything is built, you see exactly which Google Cloud Shell operations the program may use, and this is one of them.
- You approve access. Because this one changes data, it cannot run until you have explicitly granted it.

Questions
- Can HumDay starts an existing environment, allowing clients to connect to it in Google Cloud Shell?
- Yes. This operation is published in Google Cloud Shell's own API description, so HumDay can use it without a hand-built connector — once you have approved it for your automation.
- Will this change my Google Cloud Shell data?
- Yes — this is a POST operation, so it changes something in Google Cloud Shell. HumDay holds anything that writes behind an approval you grant explicitly, and the contract you approve says what it may touch.
- Do I need to write code?
- No. You describe the outcome you want in plain words. HumDay agrees a contract with you, writes the program, and shows you a proof run before anything touches your Google Cloud Shell account.
