create_doc
Create Google Docs with optional initial content and markdown formatting. Specify user email and title to generate documents programmatically.
Instructions
Creates a new Google Doc and optionally inserts initial content.
After creation, the document body starts at index 1. A new empty doc has total length 2 (one section break at index 0, one newline at index 1).
To build a rich document after creation, use batch_update_doc with insert_text operations using end_of_segment=true to append content sequentially without calculating indices. Then call inspect_doc_structure to get exact positions before applying formatting in a separate batch call.
