Feature request: gcloud CLI filter support

[Marc-T-robotics]

Summary

gcloud commands produce verbose, repetitive output. 42 combined calls over 30 days across gcloud dns and gcloud secrets.

Discover output

gcloud dns                  23    gcloud dns record-sets list --zone=prd..
gcloud secrets              19    gcloud secrets list --project=t-roboti..

Use cases

• gcloud dns record-sets list -- tabular output with long FQDN columns and TTL noise
• gcloud secrets list -- metadata-heavy output when you usually just need secret names
• gcloud compute / gcloud container -- similarly verbose (not in my top list but common)

Suggested filters

• Compact table output, strip redundant columns
• For JSON format output, strip metadata fields like etag, createTime, updateTime
• Summarize list outputs with counts

Thanks for reporting this!

You can already wrap gcloud commands with rtk summary or rtk err:

rtk summary "gcloud dns record-sets list --zone=prd"
rtk summary "gcloud secrets list --project=t-robotics"

This captures the output and gives you a condensed version without needing a dedicated filter.

Could you give it a try and let us know if that covers your use case? If so, feel free to close this. If not, let us know what's missing and we'll keep it open.

Fixed in v0.30.0 — gcloud.toml TOML filter. Tested locally: rtk gcloud compute instances list strips blank lines, keeps results.
