Input Schema
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| name | No | File name in Drive. On `upload`, defaults to the local file's name. On `copy`, the name for the copy — without it Drive names it 'Copy of <original>'. On `update`, the new name (a rename). On `createFolder`, the folder name. | |
| role | No | Permission level. On `share`, the level to grant — defaults to `reader`. On `setRole`, the new level, and it is REQUIRED there: with no default to fall back on, an omitted role would silently demote the collaborator, and setRole sends no notification. | |
| type | No | Permission type (default: 'user'). Use 'group' for Google Groups, 'domain' to share with an entire G Suite domain, 'anyone' for public links. | |
| Yes | Account email address. On list operations, "all" runs it once for every configured account. | ||
| query | No | Drive search query (e.g. "name contains 'budget'" or "mimeType='application/pdf'") | |
| domain | No | Domain name (required when type is 'domain'). | |
| fileId | No | File ID | |
| content | No | Comment text. On `replyToComment`, the reply text. | |
| filePath | No | Local file path to upload | |
| folderId | No | Folder ID (pass the id returned by createFolder or search) | |
| maxDepth | No | How many folder levels to descend (default 10). The tree is labelled partial when this limit stops the walk. | |
| mimeType | No | Target format (e.g. application/pdf, text/csv, text/plain, application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document) | |
| resolved | No | true to resolve, false to reopen | |
| commentId | No | Comment ID | |
| operation | Yes | search: find files by query | get: get file metadata | upload: upload a local file to Drive | viewImage: view an image file inline without saving to workspace (png, jpg, gif, webp). Use for quick preview — use download to save. | download: download file content to local path | copy: create a copy of a file (set name to rename the copy; parentFolderId to place it in a folder) | update: rename a file (set name) and/or move it between folders (addParents / removeParents — to move, set both) | delete: permanently delete a file (cannot be undone) | trash: move a file or folder to trash (recoverable for 30 days — use instead of delete when you only need to remove it) | export: export a Google Workspace document (Docs, Sheets, Slides) to a file format | createFolder: create a new folder (optionally nested under a parent folder) | listFolder: list the files and subfolders directly inside a folder | tree: print a recursive folder tree and count the files (subfolders excluded from the count) | listPermissions: list sharing permissions on a file | share: share a file with a user, group, domain, or anyone | unshare: remove sharing permission from a file | setRole: change an existing collaborator's role (no notification email is sent) | listComments: list comments on a file | getComment: get a specific comment by ID | addComment: add a comment to a file (optionally anchored to quoted text) | resolveComment: resolve or reopen a comment | replyToComment: reply to an existing comment | |

| shareEmail | No | Email address of the collaborator. On `share`, required when type is 'user' or 'group'; omit for 'domain' (use the `domain` param) or 'anyone'. On `setRole`, the existing collaborator whose role to change. | |
| permissionId | No | Permission ID to remove (from listPermissions) | |
| removeParents | No | Comma-separated folder ID(s) to remove as parents (move out of a folder) | |
| includeDeleted | No | Include deleted comments (default: false) | |
