Tools

Functions exposed to the LLM to take actions

NameDescription
health_checkA

Report service status, version, and per-domain auth/API reachability.

Always returns the same keys: status (healthy / degraded / error), service, version, config, and domains (per-domain auth result). Lightweight: one 1-item login query per domain.

login_auditA

Audit the login log: Google-auto-disabled accounts, suspicious logins, failure top-N.

Answers "did Google itself decide something was wrong with an account here, and with which account?" — the question a "my mail suddenly stopped working" ticket usually turns out to be. account_disabled_* is Google reporting that it locked an account (leaked password, hijacking, spamming); suspicious_login and gov_attack_warning are warnings without a lock.

In both sections user is the account the event is ABOUT, not an actor who did something: Google raised these itself, so the actor is Google and the account is read from the event's affected_email_address. Treat a hit as evidence about that account, and reach for get_user next for its current state.

An account_disabled_spamming entry means Google observed outbound spam, which is a compromise finding, not a delivery problem — the account was almost certainly being used by someone else. The IdP upstream is a separate system and is NOT disabled by this: an account locked here can still authenticate there until it is disabled there too.

Combine with a Directory suspended-users snapshot (Phase 2) for current state. Each section carries capped (window not fully scanned) — treat counts as lower bounds then.

suspended_accountsA

Snapshot of currently suspended Google Workspace accounts, per domain.

A suspended-but-still-provisioned account is a common attack surface: an account disabled in Google may remain enabled in a downstream IdP (e.g. KeyCloak), where a password-spray attacker can still authenticate through it. Cross-reference this list against the IdP to find and disable such gaps.

Unlike login_audit (which reports the event of Google disabling an account within a time window), this is current state — every account suspended right now, regardless of when. Read-only (Directory API users().list with query=isSuspended=true). Requires the admin.directory.user.readonly DWD scope; a domain missing that grant degrades to {"error": ...} for that domain only. capped is set when max_pages was hit before the listing was exhausted.

Coverage is per configured domain (Directory domain= filter), unlike the customer-wide Reports tools — every domain you want covered (e.g. a separate student domain) must have its own [domain.*] config section, or its suspended accounts are not listed.

Args: domain: Restrict to one configured domain (default: all). max_pages: Page cap (500 accounts/page); capped=true means more exist.

get_userA

Look up ONE named account's current state — the "why can't this person sign in" tool.

Answers a helpdesk ticket that already names the exact address: is the account suspended (and for what reason, since when), archived, enrolled in or enforced into 2-step verification, when did it last log in, which org unit is it in, is a password change pending. One Directory API request, no pagination.

Use this — not suspended_accounts — whenever the address is known. That tool lists only accounts that ARE suspended, so it can never confirm that a given address is not suspended, and once that list exceeds its page cap absence stops being evidence either way — after spending far more API calls than this. suspended_accounts is for the domain-wide sweep it is actually named for.

This directory is downstream of the identity provider, not the master. Read the answer as "what Google Workspace currently believes about this account" and compare it against the IdP's own record, which is authoritative for who the account is. A disagreement is usually drift on this side rather than a mistyped address — an account the IdP still authenticates can be suspended or archived here, and an address the IdP does not assert at all will simply come back found: false.

An address that names no account returns found: false with no state fields. That is a normal, expected answer — a typo'd or long-deleted address — and is itself the diagnostic result, NOT a failure. A missing DWD scope, a rejected credential or a transient API failure is reported as {"error": ...} instead. The two are deliberately distinct: never read found: false as "the lookup did not work", and never read an error as evidence about whether the account exists.

Read-only (Directory API users().get; no mutating method exists in this package). Requires the admin.directory.user.readonly DWD scope — the same one suspended_accounts uses, so a tenant already running that tool needs no additional grant.

Args: username: Exact user email, passed through as the Directory API userKey (primary or alias address both work on Google's side; the returned email is the account's canonical primary one). domain: Configured [domain.*] section to route the lookup through. Default: resolved from the username's suffix. Set it explicitly when the address uses an alias/secondary domain that has no config section of its own (common when copying addresses from mail headers or IdP logs).

user_oauth_tokensA

List third-party OAuth apps one user has granted account access to.

Account-compromise triage tool for the case login_audit and suspended_accounts are both blind to: a malicious app used a previously-granted OAuth token to read/delete mail or Drive files without ever generating a fresh login event. Check each entry's scopes for Gmail/Drive access on an unrecognized client_id/display_text — Google's own apps (e.g. iOS/Android account sync) show up too and are normal noise.

Read-only (Directory API tokens().list; never tokens().delete()). Requires the admin.directory.user.security DWD scope — distinct from admin.directory.user.readonly used by suspended_accounts; a domain missing that grant returns {"error": ...}. No pagination: the API returns a user's full grant list in one response.

Args: username: Exact user email, passed through as the Directory API userKey (primary or alias address both work on Google's side). domain: Configured [domain.*] section to route the lookup through. Default: resolved from the username's suffix. Set it explicitly when the address uses an alias/secondary domain that has no config section of its own (common when copying addresses from mail headers or IdP logs).

gmail_message_traceA

Check whether a message (by RFC 822 Message-ID) reached specific users' mailboxes.

Answers "who got this email and who didn't" for a KNOWN Message-ID and a KNOWN candidate recipient list — there is no Workspace API to search across every user for one message, so the caller supplies who to check (a mailing-list roster, or simply the people who reported a problem). For each recipient this impersonates that exact user via domain-wide delegation and searches their own mailbox (including Spam and Trash) for the Message-ID.

Requires the gmail.readonly DWD scope — granted PER SERVICE ACCOUNT CLIENT ID in the Admin console (Security > API controls > Domain-wide delegation), separately from the admin.directory.* / admin.reports.* scopes the rest of this server uses, and NOT on by default. A domain missing that grant reports a per-recipient error rather than a silent "not found" — the two must never be confused, since "not found" here can also legitimately mean the message was delivered and later deleted by the user, or never delivered at all; this tool cannot tell those apart, only "a match currently exists in this mailbox" from "it doesn't".

Read-only: only messages().list and messages().get (metadata only, never the message body) are issued against each impersonated mailbox — see DomainClient.find_message_by_id.

A per-recipient result sets ambiguous: true (with match_count) when more than one message in that mailbox shares the Message-ID (e.g. a mailing-list copy plus a direct CC) — the other fields describe only the first match in that case, not a combined answer. match_count_capped is set alongside it when the mailbox has enough matches that match_count itself is a lower bound, not exact.

Args: message_id: The RFC 822 Message-ID to search for, with or without angle brackets. Must be shaped like an address (local@domain, no whitespace) — this is validated before use, since it is interpolated into a Gmail search query. recipients: Comma- and/or whitespace-separated exact recipient email addresses to check (max 50 per call — split a larger list across multiple calls rather than expecting a partial result). domain: Configured [domain.*] section to route EVERY recipient through. Default: resolved per-recipient from their own address suffix, so one call can cover a mixed staff/student list. Set this only when recipients use an alias/secondary domain with no config section of its own.

group_delivery_policyA

Check a Google Group's own posting/delivery policy — why an external sender's mail never arrived.

A Group's access-control layer sits IN FRONT of Gmail delivery: when who_can_post is restricted (e.g. domain-members-only), an external sender's message is rejected there and never generates a per-recipient Gmail delivery event at all — gmail_message_trace (a real mailbox) and any Reports-API-based delivery trace both see nothing for that address, indistinguishable from a genuine delivery failure without this. Use this FIRST when a group address "isn't receiving" mail from an external sender, before chasing it as a transport/spam problem.

Read-only: only groups().get() is issued (Groups Settings API). Requires the apps.groups.settings DWD scope — granted PER SERVICE ACCOUNT CLIENT ID in the Admin console (Security > API controls > Domain-wide delegation), separately from every other scope this server uses, and NOT on by default.

Returns who_can_post (e.g. ALL_IN_DOMAIN_CAN_POST blocks external senders entirely; ANYONE_CAN_POST allows them), allow_external_members, is_archived, message_moderation_level, spam_moderation_level, allow_web_posting. Sets found: false (no policy fields) when group_email does not name any group in this domain — that is a normal, expected answer for a bad/typo'd address, not an error.

Args: group_email: The group's address (e.g. "team.gen@example.edu"). domain: Configured [domain.*] section to route the lookup through. Default: resolved from the address's suffix.

list_group_membersA

List a Google Group's basic metadata and member roster (Directory API).

Resolves a group's actual membership directly, independent of any specific message ever having been sent to it — unlike inferring membership from Reports API delivery-event fanout (applicationName=gmail), which only shows members who received one PARTICULAR message and requires one to already exist to trace. Pair with gmail_message_trace to deep-dive a specific member's mailbox once the roster is known, or with group_delivery_policy to see why the group as a whole may not be receiving mail at all.

Read-only: only groups().get() and members().list() are issued (Directory API), never a mutating call. Requires the admin.directory.group.readonly and admin.directory.group.member.readonly DWD scopes — granted PER SERVICE ACCOUNT CLIENT ID in the Admin console, separately from every other scope this server uses, and NOT on by default. The two calls are independent: a tenant with only one of the two scopes granted still gets that one section, with the other reported as {"error": ...} in its place rather than failing the whole call — only when BOTH fail does the tool return a single top-level error.

Sets found: false (no group/members sections) when group_email does not name any group in this domain — a normal, expected answer for a bad/typo'd address, not an error. This triggers both when BOTH calls agree with no error on either side, AND when one call CONFIRMS not-found while the other independently failed (its own error is then attached as group_lookup_error / members_lookup_error) — a confirmed non-existence from one independently-scoped call is stronger evidence than an unrelated failure on the other, and must not be buried under it.

Args: group_email: The group's address. domain: Configured [domain.*] section to route the lookup through. Default: resolved from the address's suffix. max_pages: Pagination cap for the member roster (Directory API hard limit 200 members per page). Default 20 (≤4,000 members) — raise for an unusually large group. capped: true means the roster is NOT the complete one — either more pages existed beyond this, or the member lookup failed outright (see members_error); either way it must never be read as the full membership, and an empty members list must not be mistaken for a confirmed-empty group when capped is true.

drive_external_sharingA

Report Drive ACL grants to external targets and new link/public exposure.

Counts grants whose target (target_user address, or target_domain for domain-scoped grants) is outside the configured internal domains (revocations are reported separately, not as exposure) and visibility transitions into link/public access (people_with_link / public_on_the_web, excluding a narrowing from public down to link-only; Google's shared_externally is owner-domain relative, so external-ness is judged by the target instead). untargeted_external_transitions counts transitions into shared_externally with no target address or domain (e.g. scope became "anyone with the link" — target_domain: "all" — or an unresolved target); it is a residual bucket, not a cross-check for missed named grants, since domain-scoped grants are already classified above. external_samples / exposure_samples / untargeted_samples hold examples of each. A self-grant of owner on change_user_access /change_acl_editors (a user creating their own new file — every Form/Sheet/Doc submission does this) is excluded from risky_visibility_events: it always reports a visibility transition from a missing prior state, which is indistinguishable from a genuine narrow-to-wide exposure event by visibility fields alone, but is not exposure of anything pre-existing. When no target_user is named (the change_acl_editors shape), a missing target alone is not proof of creation — an admin bulk-transferring ownership of a pre-existing, already-shared file (e.g. offboarding) looks the same — so this case is corroborated against the event's own owner parameter (self-action only if owner matches the actor); if owner itself is absent the conservative default is to count it rather than risk dropping a real ownership change. This exclusion is deliberately never applied to change_document_access_scope/change_document_visibility (see SELF_CREATION_GRANT_EVENTS) — those carry no target_user and can legitimately report new_value: "owner" for a real transition, so excluding them there would blind this tool's primary signal instead of just removing creation noise. Each audit-relevant event name is queried separately so the page budget is not consumed by view/edit noise (change_document_visibility is fetched for its acl_events count only — it duplicates change_document_access_scope on this API and does not drive classification, so it cannot compensate if that probe's own fetch fails). capped_events lists event names that exceeded max_pages*1000 events; capped is also set when any probe's fetch errored outright (see event_errors) — either way, treat that domain's counts as lower bounds. Narrow hours or raise max_pages for full coverage (term-time weekdays see >10k change_user_access events/day).

Shared-drive caveat: a file created INSIDE a shared drive emits change_user_access events for each existing drive member (ACL propagation), so an external member merely uploading files looks like bulk external sharing here. When a finding's documents share one owner that is a drive NAME rather than a user address, triage with drive_doc_activity (per-document history: the "grants" coincide with create/upload by the same actor) and shared_drive_membership_changes (who added the members, and when).

drive_doc_activityA

Full audit history of one Drive document: owner, ACL changes, lifecycle.

The triage companion to drive_external_sharing: a sharing finding names a doc_id, and judging it requires who OWNS the document (an individual user vs. a shared drive completely changes the risk read) and its grant history over time. Uses a server-side doc_id filter, so the page budget is spent on this one document only.

owner / doc_title are taken from the document's own events (a shared-drive-owned file reports the drive's name — not a user address — as owner). events lists ACL and lifecycle events newest-first (view/edit/download noise is counted in event_counts but not listed); events_truncated is set when more matched than max_events. The doc_id filter matches at the ACTIVITY level and one activity can carry sibling events for OTHER documents (a multi-file share is one activity with one event per file) — events whose own doc_id parameter does not match (or is absent) are excluded from every output field and tallied in sibling_events_skipped instead, so a bulk action cannot contaminate this document's history or misattribute its owner. An empty result means no events in the window for the queried tenant — NOT proof the document does not exist (history older than the Reports API retention, or a document living in a different tenant, looks the same).

Args: doc_id: Drive document id (from a sharing finding's doc_id field). days: How far back to scan (Reports API retains roughly 6 months). domain: Restrict to one configured domain/tenant (default: all). max_pages: Reports page cap per domain; capped=true means more existed. max_events: Cap on listed events (counts are unaffected).

shared_drive_membership_changesA

Membership add/remove/role-change history across shared drives.

Answers "who added this (external) member, and when" — the other half of triaging a shared-drive sharing finding (see drive_doc_activity). Membership changes are low-volume, so a plain window scan of the single shared_drive_membership_change event works even over months.

Each entry's drive is the shared drive's NAME as the audit log reports it (the event's owner parameter — not an id, not a user address); target_is_external classifies the affected member against the configured internal domains. The Reports API cannot filter by drive server-side, so drive_name is a client-side case-insensitive substring match on that name — it narrows the listing, not the scan. An event whose drive name is absent can neither match nor be ruled out; with drive_name set such events are excluded from total/entries but tallied in missing_drive_name so the drop is never silent (without drive_name they are listed normally with drive: null).

Args: days: How far back to scan (Reports API retains roughly 6 months). domain: Restrict to one configured domain/tenant (default: all). drive_name: Only list entries whose drive name contains this substring. max_pages: Reports page cap per domain; capped=true means more existed. max_events: Cap on listed entries (total counts all matches).

daily_briefA

One-call security summary across all configured domains.

Aggregates login_audit (account locks, suspicious logins) and drive_external_sharing (external grants, new link exposure, and untargeted_external_transitions — see that tool's docstring). max_pages / samples are passed through to the drive scan; max_pages defaults to the same page budget as the standalone tool, so both report the same counters for the same window (samples defaults lower here and only trims the example lists). Per-domain capped in the summary means at least one underlying scan was partial — treat that domain's counts as lower bounds (see capped_events in the drive section for which probes were cut short).

Synchronous: on a large tenant this can exceed a client's ~60s tool-call timeout. If it does, use daily_brief_start + daily_brief_result (same result, run in the background) or lower max_pages.

daily_brief_startA

Start a daily_brief in the background; returns immediately with a job_id.

Use this instead of daily_brief when the synchronous call risks the client's ~60s tool-call timeout (large tenants). Args mirror daily_brief. You MUST then poll daily_brief_result(job_id) every few seconds until status is done (the full daily_brief payload is under result) or error. On a config error returns {"error": ...}; if too many jobs are already active returns {"status": "rejected", ...}.

daily_brief_resultA

Fetch a daily_brief_start job by id.

status is running (keep polling), done (result holds the full daily_brief payload), error (error holds the exception type name — the message is omitted to avoid leaking internal detail), or unknown (bad/expired id).
