Tools

Functions exposed to the LLM to take actions

NameDescription
start_google_authA

Manually initiate Google OAuth authentication flow.

NOTE: This tool should typically NOT be called directly. The authentication system automatically handles credential checks and prompts for authentication when needed. Only use this tool if:

  1. You need to re-authenticate with different credentials

  2. You want to proactively authenticate before using other tools

  3. The automatic authentication flow failed and you need to retry

In most cases, simply try calling the Google Workspace tool you need - it will automatically handle authentication if required.

complete_google_authA

Complete Google OAuth after start_google_auth.

Preferred input is callback_url (the full redirected URL copied from the browser). Fallback input supports (authorization_code, state) when full callback URL is unavailable.

setup_google_auth_clientsA

Ensure auth_clients.json exists for single-MCP multi-client auth routing.

inspect_doc_structureA

Essential tool for finding safe insertion points and understanding document structure.

USE THIS FOR:

  • Finding the correct index for table insertion

  • Understanding document layout before making changes

  • Locating existing tables and their positions

  • Getting document statistics and complexity info

CRITICAL FOR TABLE OPERATIONS: ALWAYS call this BEFORE creating tables to get a safe insertion index.

WHAT THE OUTPUT SHOWS:

  • total_elements: Number of document elements

  • total_length: Maximum safe index for insertion

  • tables: Number of existing tables

  • table_details: Position and dimensions of each table

WORKFLOW: Step 1: Call this function Step 2: Note the "total_length" value Step 3: Use an index < total_length for table insertion Step 4: Create your table

Args: user_google_email: User's Google email address document_id: ID of the document to inspect detailed: Whether to return detailed structure information

Returns: str: JSON string containing document structure and safe insertion indices

create_table_with_dataA

Creates a table and populates it with data in one reliable operation.

CRITICAL: YOU MUST CALL inspect_doc_structure FIRST TO GET THE INDEX!

MANDATORY WORKFLOW - DO THESE STEPS IN ORDER:

Step 1: ALWAYS call inspect_doc_structure first Step 2: Use the 'total_length' value from inspect_doc_structure as your index Step 3: Format data as 2D list: [["col1", "col2"], ["row1col1", "row1col2"]] Step 4: Call this function with the correct index and data

EXAMPLE DATA FORMAT: table_data = [ ["Header1", "Header2", "Header3"], # Row 0 - headers ["Data1", "Data2", "Data3"], # Row 1 - first data row ["Data4", "Data5", "Data6"] # Row 2 - second data row ]

CRITICAL INDEX REQUIREMENTS:

  • NEVER use index values like 1, 2, 10 without calling inspect_doc_structure first

  • ALWAYS get index from inspect_doc_structure 'total_length' field

  • Index must be a valid insertion point in the document

DATA FORMAT REQUIREMENTS:

  • Must be 2D list of strings only

  • Each inner list = one table row

  • All rows MUST have same number of columns

  • Use empty strings "" for empty cells, never None

  • Use debug_table_structure after creation to verify results

Args: user_google_email: User's Google email address document_id: ID of the document to update table_data: 2D list of strings - EXACT format: [["col1", "col2"], ["row1col1", "row1col2"]] index: Document position (MANDATORY: get from inspect_doc_structure 'total_length') bold_headers: Whether to make first row bold (default: true) dry_run: When True (default), return planned mutation without executing it

Returns: str: Confirmation with table details and link

debug_table_structureA

ESSENTIAL DEBUGGING TOOL - Use this whenever tables don't work as expected.

USE THIS IMMEDIATELY WHEN:

  • Table population put data in wrong cells

  • You get "table not found" errors

  • Data appears concatenated in first cell

  • Need to understand existing table structure

  • Planning to use populate_existing_table

WHAT THIS SHOWS YOU:

  • Exact table dimensions (rows × columns)

  • Each cell's position coordinates (row,col)

  • Current content in each cell

  • Insertion indices for each cell

  • Table boundaries and ranges

HOW TO READ THE OUTPUT:

  • "dimensions": "2x3" = 2 rows, 3 columns

  • "position": "(0,0)" = first row, first column

  • "current_content": What's actually in each cell right now

  • "insertion_index": Where new text would be inserted in that cell

WORKFLOW INTEGRATION:

  1. After creating table → Use this to verify structure

  2. Before populating → Use this to plan your data format

  3. After population fails → Use this to see what went wrong

  4. When debugging → Compare your data array to actual table structure

Args: user_google_email: User's Google email address document_id: ID of the document to inspect table_index: Which table to debug (0 = first table, 1 = second table, etc.)

Returns: str: Detailed JSON structure showing table layout, cell positions, and current content
