Debug Table Structure
debug_table_structureInspect a Google Docs table to view its dimensions, cell positions, content, and insertion indices for debugging and planning data population.
Instructions
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:
After creating table → Use this to verify structure
Before populating → Use this to plan your data format
After population fails → Use this to see what went wrong
When debugging → Compare your data array to actual table structure
