setup_auth
Authenticate Google account access for NotebookLM by opening a browser window for manual login. Use for first-time setup or when automatic credentials are unavailable.
Instructions
Google authentication for NotebookLM access - opens a browser window for manual login to your Google account. Returns immediately after opening the browser. You have up to 10 minutes to complete the login. Use 'get_health' tool afterwards to verify authentication was saved successfully. Use this for first-time authentication or when auto-login credentials are not available. IMPORTANT: If already authenticated, this tool will skip re-authentication. For switching accounts or rate-limit workarounds, use 're_auth' tool instead.
TROUBLESHOOTING for persistent auth issues: If setup_auth fails or you encounter browser/session issues:
Ask user to close ALL Chrome/Chromium instances
Run cleanup_data(confirm=true, preserve_library=true) to clean old data
Run setup_auth again for fresh start This helps resolve conflicts from old browser sessions and installation data.
