append_rows
Add new rows to the end of a spreadsheet sheet. Use this tool to efficiently append data like [['Alice', 30], ['Bob', 25]] after the last used row.
Instructions
Append one or more rows after the last used row in the sheet.
Values are type-coerced (numeric strings to numbers). This is the most efficient way to add data to the end of a sheet.

Implementation Reference
- The implementation of the `append_rows` tool, which uses `@mcp.tool()` to register it and handles appending rows to a spreadsheet.

Each inner list is one row.")], sheet: Annotated[str | None, Field(description="Sheet name. Defaults to the first sheet if omitted.")] = None, ) -> str: """Append one or more rows after the last used row in the sheet. Values are type-coerced (numeric strings to numbers).
