DingTalk Workspace Skill

Use the dws CLI to interact with DingTalk enterprise workspace. This skill covers all 12 products: contact, chat, bot, calendar, todo, oa (approval), attendance, ding, report, aitable, workbench, and devdoc.

⚠️ Security & Safety Notes

Read before installing:

1. Credentials Required: This skill requires OAuth credentials (DWS_CLIENT_ID, DWS_CLIENT_SECRET) from a DingTalk Open Platform app. Enterprise admin approval may be needed.

1. Install Safely: The dws CLI installer fetches from GitHub. Review the installer script before running:

- Installer: https://github.com/DingTalk-Real-AI/dingtalk-workspace-cli/blob/main/scripts/install.sh - Releases: https://github.com/DingTalk-Real-AI/dingtalk-workspace-cli/releases

1. Autonomous Execution Risk: This skill can perform destructive actions (approve workflows, send messages, delete records). Always use --dry-run first and restrict autonomous invocation unless you trust the agent.

1. Least Privilege: Use scoped OAuth credentials with minimum permissions. Test in a sandbox enterprise first.

Prerequisites

Installation

Option 1: Install from release (recommended)

Download pre-built binary from https://github.com/DingTalk-Real-AI/dingtalk-workspace-cli/releases

Option 2: Build from source (safer)

git clone https://github.com/DingTalk-Real-AI/dingtalk-workspace-cli.git
cd dingtalk-workspace-cli
go build -o dws ./cmd
cp dws ~/.local/bin/

Option 3: Install script (review first!)

# macOS / Linux - REVIEW SCRIPT BEFORE RUNNING
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/DingTalk-Real-AI/dingtalk-workspace-cli/main/scripts/install.sh | sh

# Windows (PowerShell) - REVIEW SCRIPT BEFORE RUNNING

Authentication

Recommended: Interactive Login (secure keychain storage)

dws auth login --client-id <your-app-key> --client-secret <your-app-secret>
# Tokens stored encrypted in system Keychain (macOS/Windows) or libsecret (Linux)

Alternative: Environment Variables (use with caution)

export DWS_CLIENT_ID=<your-app-key>
export DWS_CLIENT_SECRET=<your-app-secret>
dws auth login

⚠️ Security note: Environment variables may be exposed in process listings and logs. Prefer interactive login for production use.

Safe Execution Guidelines

For Agents

• --dry-run: ALWAYS use first for mutations to preview API calls
• --yes: Skip confirmation prompts (use only after verifying with --dry-run)
• --jq: Extract specific fields to reduce token consumption
• --fields: Return only needed fields

Recommended Workflow

# 1. Preview the operation
dws todo task create --title "Test" --executors "user123" --dry-run

# 2. Verify the output looks correct

# 3. Execute (only if preview was correct)
dws todo task create --title "Test" --executors "user123" --yes

Auto-Correction

dws automatically corrects common AI mistakes:

• --baseId → --base-id (camelCase to kebab-case)
• --timeout30 → --timeout 30 (sticky argument splitting)
• --tabel-id → --table-id (fuzzy matching)
• "yes" → true, "2024/03/29" → "2024-03-29" (value normalization)

Discovery & Introspection

Before making calls, discover available capabilities:

# List all products and tool counts
dws schema --jq '.products[] | {id, tool_count: (.tools | length)}'

# Inspect a specific tool's parameter schema
dws schema aitable.query_records --jq '.tool.parameters'

# View required fields
dws schema aitable.query_records --jq '.tool.required'

# List all product IDs
dws schema --jq '.products[].id'

Quick Reference by Product

Contact

# Search users by keyword
dws contact user search --keyword "engineering"

# Get current user profile
dws contact user get-self --jq '.result[0].orgEmployeeModel | {name: .orgUserName, dept: .depts[0].deptName}'

# Search department by name
dws contact dept search --keyword "Engineering"

# List department members
dws contact dept members --dept-id <dept-id>

Chat

# Send message as bot
dws chat message send-by-bot --robot-code <BOT_CODE> --group <GROUP_ID> --title "Weekly Report" --text @report.md

# List groups
dws chat group list

# Get group info
dws chat group get --group-id <GROUP_ID>

Calendar

# List calendar events
dws calendar event list

# Create event
dws calendar event create --title "Team Meeting" --start "2024-03-29T14:00:00Z" --end "2024-03-29T15:00:00Z"

# Find free slots
dws calendar participant busy --user-ids <user-id-1>,<user-id-2> --start "2024-03-29" --end "2024-03-30"

# Search meeting rooms
dws calendar room search --keyword "Meeting Room"

Todo

# Create todo
dws todo task create --title "Review PR" --executors "<your-userId>" --yes

# List todos
dws todo task list

# Mark as done
dws todo task done --task-id <task-id>

Approval (OA)

# List pending approvals
dws oa approval list --status pending

# Approve instance
dws oa approval approve --instance-id <instance-id> --comment "Approved"

# Reject instance
dws oa approval reject --instance-id <instance-id> --comment "Needs revision"

Attendance

# View my attendance records
dws attendance record list --user-id <your-userId>

# View team shift schedule
dws attendance shift list --dept-id <dept-id>

Report

# View today's received reports
dws report list --type received --start-date "2024-03-29" --end-date "2024-03-29"

# Create report
dws report create --template-id <template-id> --content @report.md

AITable

# Query records
dws aitable record query --base-id <BASE_ID> --table-id <TABLE_ID> --limit 10

# Create record
dws aitable record create --base-id <BASE_ID> --table-id <TABLE_ID> --fields '{"name": "Task 1", "status": "open"}'

# List bases
dws aitable base list

# List tables in a base
dws aitable table list --base-id <BASE_ID>

Output Control

jq Filtering

# Extract specific fields
dws contact user search --keyword "engineering" --jq '.result[] | {name: .orgUserName, userId: .userId}'

# Count results
dws todo task list --jq '.result | length'

Field Selection

# Return only specific fields
dws aitable record query --base-id <BASE_ID> --table-id <TABLE_ID> --fields invocation,response

File Input

# Read from file
dws chat message send-by-bot --robot-code <BOT_CODE> --group <GROUP_ID> --text @message.md

# Pipe from stdin
cat message.md | dws chat message send-by-bot --robot-code <BOT_CODE> --group <GROUP_ID>

Common Workflows

See bundled scripts in scripts/ for batch operations:

Safety First: All mutation scripts default to --dry-run mode. You must explicitly pass --execute to perform actual changes.

Example:

# Preview first (default behavior)
python scripts/todo_batch_create.py tasks.json

# Execute after verifying preview
python scripts/todo_batch_create.py tasks.json --execute

Error Handling

Common Error Codes

• INVALID_TOKEN: Re-authenticate with dws auth login
• PERMISSION_DENIED: Check app permissions in DingTalk Open Platform
• RESOURCE_NOT_FOUND: Verify IDs with dws schema introspection

Recovery

When encountering RECOVERY_EVENT_ID, use:

dws --recovery <RECOVERY_EVENT_ID>

Security Notes

• Credentials are stored encrypted in system Keychain (never in config files)
• All requests use HTTPS to *.dingtalk.com only
• Use --dry-run before any mutation to preview the API call
• Token refresh is automatic; no manual intervention needed
