gws workflow --help

# Inspect a method's required params, types, and defaults
gws schema workflow.<resource>.<method>

Use `gws schema` output to build your `--params` and `--json` flags.

```bash
# List available resources and methods
gws workflow --help

# Inspect method schema before calling
gws schema workflow.<resource>.<method>

# Execute command with arguments
gws workflow $ARGUMENTS
