Google Drive

Downloads a file from Google Drive by its ID. For Google Workspace documents (Docs, Sheets, Slides), optionally exports to a specified `mime_type`. For other file types, downloads in their native format regardless of mime_type. Examples: Export a Google Doc to plain text: {"file_id": "1N2o5xQWmAbCdEfGhIJKlmnOPq", "mime_type": "text/plain"} Download a Google Sheet as CSV: {"file_id": "1ZyXwVuTsRqPoNmLkJiHgFeDcB", "mime_type": "text/csv"}

Tool to download file content using long-running operations. Use when you need to download Google Vids files or export Google Workspace documents as part of a long-running operation. Operations are valid for 24 hours from creation. Returns a response containing `downloaded_file_content.s3url` — a short-lived S3 URL; fetch the actual file bytes from that URL promptly after the call.

Exports a Google Workspace document to the requested MIME type and returns exported file content. Use when you need to export Google Docs, Sheets, Slides, Drawings, or Apps Script files to a specific format. Note: The exported content is limited to 10MB by Google Drive API.

DEPRECATED: Exports Google Workspace files (max 10MB) to a specified format using `mime_type`, or downloads other file types; use `GOOGLEDRIVE_DOWNLOAD_FILE` instead.

The comprehensive Google Drive search tool that handles all file and folder discovery needs. Use this for any file finding task - from simple name searches to complex queries with date filters, MIME types, permissions, custom properties, folder scoping, and more. Searches across My Drive and shared drives with full metadata support. Examples: - Find PDFs: q="mimeType = 'application/pdf'" - Find recent files: q="modifiedTime > '2024-01-01T00:00:00'" - Search by name: q="name contains 'report'" - Files in folder: folderId="abc123" or q="'FOLDER_ID' in parents"

Generates a set of file IDs which can be provided in create or copy requests. Use when you need to pre-allocate IDs for new files or copies.

Tool to retrieve information about the user, the user's Drive, and system capabilities. Use when you need to check storage quotas, user details, or supported import/export formats. Note: storageQuota reflects My Drive (personal) storage only — it does not cover shared drives; use GOOGLEDRIVE_LIST_SHARED_DRIVES and GOOGLEDRIVE_GET_DRIVE for shared drive quotas. A successful response confirms base Drive read access only; write access and shared drive access must be verified separately.

Tool to get the starting pageToken for listing future changes in Google Drive. Returns only a token — pass it to GOOGLEDRIVE_LIST_CHANGES to retrieve actual changes. Persist this token; losing it requires a full rescan. The token is forward-looking: GOOGLEDRIVE_LIST_CHANGES may return no results if no changes have occurred since issuance. For simple recent-file lookups, prefer GOOGLEDRIVE_FIND_FILE; use this tool only for incremental change-feed workflows.

Tool to get a comment by ID. Use when you need to retrieve a specific comment from a Google Drive file and have both the file ID and comment ID.

Tool to get a file's metadata by ID. Use to verify `mimeType`, `parents`, and `trashed` status before destructive operations (delete/move/export), or to confirm `mimeType='application/vnd.google-apps.document'` before calling GOOGLEDOCS_* tools (non-native files require GOOGLEDRIVE_DOWNLOAD_FILE). Only returns metadata visible to the connected account; public access requires GOOGLEDRIVE_ADD_FILE_SHARING_PREFERENCE. High-frequency calls risk `403 rateLimitExceeded`; apply exponential backoff.

Creates a new folder in Google Drive, optionally within an EXISTING parent folder specified by its ID or name. The parent folder MUST already exist - use GOOGLEDRIVE_FIND_FOLDER first to verify the parent exists or find its ID. Google Drive permits duplicate folder names, so always store and reuse the folder ID returned by this action rather than relying on names for future lookups.

Tool to create a comment on a file in Google Drive. Returns a nested `data` object; extract `data.id` for the resulting comment identifier. Omit `anchor` and `quoted_file_content_*` for general file-level comments.

Creates a new file or folder in Google Drive. Supports both metadata-only creation (for folders and empty documents) and file upload with content. When file_to_upload is provided, uploads the actual file bytes; otherwise creates an empty file. Native Google file types (Docs, Sheets, Forms, etc.) and folders are created as empty shells when no content is provided; content must be added manually afterward. Newly created files are private by default — set sharing permissions afterward for collaboration. For shared-drive folders, use this tool with the target folder ID in `parents` rather than GOOGLEDRIVE_CREATE_FOLDER.

Tool to create a permission for a file or shared drive. Use when you need to share a file or folder with users, groups, domains, or make it publicly accessible. Warning: Concurrent permissions operations on the same file are not supported; only the last update is applied.

Creates multiple permissions for files or shared drives in a single batch request. Use this action when you need to share multiple files with users, or share a single file with multiple users or groups simultaneously. Each permission in the batch can target a different file and specify different access levels. Batch operations are more efficient than creating permissions individually, with a maximum of 100 permissions per batch.

Tool to create a reply to a comment in Google Drive. Use when you need to respond to an existing comment on a file.

Tool to create a new shared drive. Use when you need to programmatically create a new shared drive for collaboration or storage.

Tool to create a shortcut to a file or folder in Google Drive. Use when you need to link to an existing Drive item from another location without duplicating it. The shortcut receives its own distinct file ID (capture from response). No parent folder parameter exists; use GOOGLEDRIVE_MOVE_FILE after creation to place the shortcut in the desired location.

Uploads a file (max 5MB) to Google Drive, placing it in the specified folder or root if no valid folder ID is provided. Always creates a new file (never updates existing); use GOOGLEDRIVE_EDIT_FILE to update with a stable file_id. Uploaded files are private by default; configure sharing via GOOGLEDRIVE_ADD_FILE_SHARING_PREFERENCE.

Tool to fetch a file from a provided URL server-side and upload it into Google Drive. Use when you need to reliably persist externally hosted files into Drive without client-side downloads or temporary storage.

Tool to hide a shared drive from the default view. Use when you want to remove a shared drive from the user's main Google Drive interface without deleting it.

Modifies the set of labels applied to a file. Returns a list of the labels that were added or modified. Use when you need to programmatically change labels on a Google Drive file, such as adding, updating, or removing them.

Tool to move a file from one folder to another in Google Drive. To truly move (not just copy the parent), always provide both `add_parents` (destination folder ID) and `remove_parents` (source folder ID); omitting `remove_parents` leaves the file in multiple folders. Useful for reorganizing files, including newly created Google Docs/Sheets that default to Drive root.

Tool to update a permission using patch semantics. Use when you need to modify specific fields of an existing permission without affecting other fields. Warning: Concurrent permissions operations on the same file are not supported; only the last update is applied.

Tool to start and complete a Google Drive resumable upload session. Use for files larger than ~5 MB to avoid timeouts or size-limit failures. HTTP 308 means continue the session from the correct byte offset; HTTP 410 means the session expired and a full restart with a new session is required.

Tool to move a file or folder to trash (soft delete). Use when you need to delete a file but want to allow recovery via UNTRASH_FILE. This action is distinct from permanent deletion and provides a safer cleanup workflow.

Tool to unhide a shared drive. Use when you need to restore a shared drive to the default view.

Tool to restore a file from the trash. Use when you need to recover a deleted file. This action updates the file's metadata to set the 'trashed' property to false. Only works while the file remains in trash — recovery is impossible after trash is emptied via GOOGLEDRIVE_EMPTY_TRASH or auto-purged by policy.

Tool to update an existing comment on a Google Drive file. Use when you need to change the content of a comment. NOTE: The 'resolved' field is read-only in the Google Drive API. To resolve or reopen a comment, use CREATE_REPLY with action='resolve' or action='reopen'.

Updates file metadata. Uses PATCH semantics (partial update) as per Google Drive API v3 — only explicitly provided fields are updated, so omit fields you do not intend to overwrite. Use this tool to modify attributes of an existing file like its name, description, or parent folders. To move a file, supply add_parents and remove_parents together; omitting remove_parents creates multiple parents, omitting add_parents can orphan the file. Bulk updates may trigger 429 Too Many Requests; apply exponential backoff. Note: supports metadata updates only; file content updates are not yet implemented.

Permanently deletes a comment thread (and all its replies) from a Google Drive file — this action is irreversible. To remove only a single reply within a thread, use GOOGLEDRIVE_DELETE_REPLY instead. Verify the exact comment content and comment_id before calling.

Deletes a permission from a file by permission ID. Deletion is irreversible — confirm the target user, group, or permission type before executing. IMPORTANT: You must first call GOOGLEDRIVE_LIST_PERMISSIONS to get valid permission IDs. To fully revoke public access, the type='anyone' (link-sharing) permission must be explicitly deleted; revoking other permissions leaves the file publicly accessible via link. Use when you need to revoke access for a specific user or group from a file.

Tool to delete a specific reply by reply ID. Deletion is irreversible; obtain explicit user confirmation before calling. Removes only the targeted reply, not the full comment thread — use GOOGLEDRIVE_DELETE_COMMENT to remove the entire thread.

Tool to permanently delete a shared drive. Use when you need to remove a shared drive and its contents (if specified).

Tool to permanently and irreversibly delete ALL trashed files in the user's Google Drive or a specified shared drive. Recovery is impossible after execution — no Drive tool can restore items once trash is emptied. Affects every item in trash across the entire account or shared drive, not just files from the current workflow. Always obtain explicit user confirmation and clarify that recovery is impossible before executing. Provide driveId to target a specific shared drive's trash; omit to empty the user's root trash.

Tool to stop watching resources through a specified channel. Use this when you want to stop receiving notifications for a previously established watch. Both `id` and `resourceId` must be saved from the original watch response — they cannot be retrieved after the fact.

Tool to remove a child from a folder using Google Drive API v2. Use when you need to remove a file from a specific folder.

Tool to delete a file or folder in Google Drive. Use when you need to permanently remove a specific file or folder using its ID. Note: This action is irreversible. Deleting a folder permanently removes all nested files and subfolders.

Tool to remove a parent from a file using Google Drive API v2. Use when you need to remove a file from a specific folder.

Tool to delete a property from a file using Google Drive API v2. Use when you need to remove custom key-value metadata from a file.
