Google Cloud Pub/Sub with OrchestrAI
Catalog exported 2026-09-02
Create Pub/Sub topics and subscriptions and publish test messages from chat.
OrchestrAI exposes 3 Pub/Sub operations: 3 are low-risk (read-only or low-impact).
What teams use it for
Developers use OrchestrAI to wire up a topic and its pull or push subscription for a new event flow, then publish a sample message to confirm the consumer receives it. Because every one of these operations is low risk, this is a quick loop for testing an integration before code ships. There is no pull or list operation, so reading messages off a subscription or auditing existing topics is done with gcloud or the console.
Every Pub/Sub operation, with its risk level
| Operation | What it does | Risk | Step-level approval |
|---|---|---|---|
Create Pub/Sub Subscription |
Create a GCP Pub/Sub subscription | Low risk | No |
Create Pub/Sub Topic |
Create a GCP Pub/Sub topic | Low risk | No |
Publish to Pub/Sub |
Publish a message to a Pub/Sub topic | Low risk | No |
Risk tiers come from the catalog: low is read-only or low-impact, medium creates resources and is reversible, high modifies existing resources, destructive may lose data. Every plan that creates or changes resources is shown with its cost estimate and waits for your confirmation. Operations marked with a step-level approval pause again on their own step. Destructive operations require a typed risk phrase.
Prompts that work
- Create a Pub/Sub topic called order-events
- Add a pull subscription named order-events-worker to order-events with a 60 second ack deadline
- Publish a test message with body {"order_id": 123} to the order-events topic
Before anything runs
Every mutation shows its plan, cost estimate, and blast radius, then waits for your confirmation. Destructive operations require a typed risk phrase. Credentials are minted per run through OIDC federation and discarded afterward; nothing you create here is invisible later, because every resource lands in the desired-state ledger where drift is detected and can be converged. Details on the security page.
Frequently asked questions
- Does OrchestrAI ask for confirmation before publishing to Pub/Sub?
- Publishing, creating topics, and creating subscriptions are all classified low risk. OrchestrAI still shows you the plan before acting, but there is no destructive step involved.
- Can OrchestrAI read messages from a Pub/Sub subscription?
- Not currently, since it can create topics and subscriptions and publish messages, but pulling or acknowledging messages is not an available operation.
- Which Pub/Sub operations need an extra approval step?
- None of the Pub/Sub operations currently carries a step-level approval gate; they are read-only or run after plan confirmation like any other change.
