Look at your data without changing it.
- Batch get spreadsheet
Retrieves data from specified cell ranges in a Google Spreadsheet.
- Batch Get Spreadsheet Values by Data Filter
Tool to return one or more ranges of values from a spreadsheet that match the specified data filters. Use when you need to retrieve specific data sets based on filtering criteria rather than entire sheets or fixed ranges.
- Get sheet names
Lists all worksheet names from a specified Google Spreadsheet (which must exist), useful for discovering sheets before further operations.
- Get Spreadsheet by Data Filter
Returns the spreadsheet at the given ID, filtered by the specified data filters. Use this tool when you need to retrieve specific subsets of data from a Google Sheet based on criteria like A1 notation, developer metadata, or grid ranges. Important: This action is designed for filtered data retrieval. While it accepts empty filters and returns full metadata in that case, GOOGLESHEETS_GET_SPREADSHEET_INFO is the recommended action for unfiltered spreadsheet retrieval.
- Get spreadsheet info
Retrieves metadata for a Google Spreadsheet using its ID. By default, returns essential information (ID, title, sheet properties) to avoid payload size issues. Use the fields parameter for comprehensive metadata or specific fields.
- Get spreadsheet values
Returns a range of values from a spreadsheet. Use when you need to read data from specific cells or ranges in a Google Sheet.
- List Charts in Google Sheets
Lists all charts in a Google Sheets spreadsheet across all sheets, returning chart_id, sheet metadata, chart type, title, and position. Use this action when you need to discover what charts exist in a spreadsheet, retrieve chart IDs for update or delete operations, or inspect chart configurations. The default field mask in GOOGLESHEETS_GET_SPREADSHEET_INFO omits chart data, making this dedicated action necessary for chart discovery.
- Search Developer Metadata
Tool to search for developer metadata in a spreadsheet. Use when you need to find specific metadata entries based on filters.
- Search Spreadsheets
Search for Google Spreadsheets using various filters including name, content, date ranges, and more.
- Aggregate Column Data
Searches for rows where a specific column matches a value and performs mathematical operations on data from another column.

- Add Sheet to Existing Spreadsheet
Adds a new sheet to a spreadsheet. Supports three sheet types: GRID, OBJECT, and DATA_SOURCE. SHEET TYPES: - GRID (default): Standard spreadsheet with rows/columns. Use properties to set dimensions, tab color, etc. - OBJECT: Sheet containing a chart. Requires objectSheetConfig with chartSpec (basicChart or pieChart). - DATA_SOURCE: Sheet connected to BigQuery. Requires dataSourceConfig with bigQuery spec and bigquery.readonly OAuth scope. OTHER NOTES: - Sheet names must be unique; use forceUnique=true to auto-append suffix (_2, _3) if name exists - For tab colors, use EITHER rgbColor OR themeColor, not both - Avoid 'index' when creating sheets in parallel (causes errors) - OBJECT sheets are created via addChart with position.newSheet=true - DATA_SOURCE sheets require bigquery.readonly OAuth scope Use cases: Add standard grid sheet, create chart on dedicated sheet, connect to BigQuery data source.
- Copy Sheet to Another Spreadsheet
Tool to copy a single sheet from a spreadsheet to another spreadsheet. Use when you need to duplicate a sheet into a different spreadsheet.
- Create a Google Sheet
Creates a new Google Spreadsheet in Google Drive. If a title is provided, the spreadsheet will be created with that name. If no title is provided, Google will create a spreadsheet with a default name like 'Untitled spreadsheet'. Optionally create the spreadsheet in a specific folder by providing either: - folder_id: The Google Drive folder ID (preferred, unambiguous) - folder_name: The folder name (searches for exact match; if multiple folders match, returns choices) If neither folder_id nor folder_name is provided, the spreadsheet is created in the root Drive folder.
- Create Chart in Google Sheets
Create a chart in a Google Sheets spreadsheet using the specified data range and chart type. Conditional requirements: - Provide either a simple chart via chart_type + data_range (basicChart), OR supply a full chart_spec supporting all chart types. Exactly one approach should be used. - When using chart_spec, set exactly one of the union fields (basicChart | pieChart | bubbleChart | candlestickChart | histogramChart | waterfallChart | treemapChart | orgChart | scorecardChart).
- Create spreadsheet column
Creates a new column in a Google Spreadsheet. Specify the target sheet using sheet_id (numeric) or sheet_name (text). If neither is provided, defaults to the first sheet (sheet_id=0).
- Create spreadsheet row
Inserts a new, empty row into a specified sheet of a Google Spreadsheet at a given index, optionally inheriting formatting from the row above.
Updates19
Change something that is already there.
- Append Dimension
Tool to append new rows or columns to a sheet, increasing its size. Use when you need to add empty rows or columns to an existing sheet.
- Append Values to Spreadsheet
Tool to append values to a spreadsheet. Use when you need to add new data to the end of an existing table in a Google Sheet.
- Batch update spreadsheet values
Tool to set values in one or more ranges of a spreadsheet. Use when you need to update multiple ranges in a single operation for better performance.
- Clear Basic Filter
Tool to clear the basic filter from a sheet. Use when you need to remove an existing basic filter from a specific sheet within a Google Spreadsheet.
- Find and Replace in Spreadsheet
Tool to find and replace text in a Google Spreadsheet. Use when you need to fix formula errors, update values, or perform bulk text replacements across cells. Common use cases: - Fix #ERROR! cells by replacing with empty string or correct formula - Update old values with new ones across multiple cells - Fix formula references or patterns - Clean up data formatting issues
- Insert Dimension in Google Sheet
Tool to insert new rows or columns into a sheet at a specified location. Use when you need to add empty rows or columns within an existing Google Sheet.
- Move or Resize Chart in Google Sheets
Move or resize an existing chart on a Google Sheets spreadsheet. Use this action when you need to reposition a chart to a different location on the same or different sheet, move it to a brand-new sheet, or change its size. This action wraps the updateEmbeddedObjectPosition batchUpdate request type and supports three positioning modes: moving to a new sheet, moving to an existing sheet, or repositioning via pixel-perfect overlay coordinates.
- Set Basic Filter
Tool to set a basic filter on a sheet in a Google Spreadsheet. Use when you need to filter or sort data within a specific range on a sheet.
- Set Data Validation Rule
Tool to set or clear data validation rules (including dropdowns) on a range in Google Sheets. Use when you need to apply dropdown lists, range-based dropdowns, or custom formula validation to cells.
- Sort Range
Sorts data within a specified range in a Google Sheet based on one or more sort criteria. Use this action when you need to reorder rows in a range by column values, with support for multi-level (cascading) sorts.
Deletes7
Remove something. This often cannot be undone.
- Batch Clear Spreadsheet Values
Tool to clear one or more ranges of values from a spreadsheet. Use when you need to remove data from specific cells or ranges while keeping formatting and other properties intact.
- Batch Clear Values By Data Filter
Clears one or more ranges of values from a spreadsheet using data filters. The caller must specify the spreadsheet ID and one or more DataFilters. Ranges matching any of the specified data filters will be cleared. Only values are cleared -- all other properties of the cell (such as formatting, data validation, etc..) are kept.
- Delete Dimension (Rows/Columns)
Tool to delete specified rows or columns from a sheet in a Google Spreadsheet. Use when you need to remove a range of rows or columns.
- Delete Sheet
Tool to delete a sheet (worksheet) from a spreadsheet. Use when you need to remove a specific sheet from a Google Sheet document.
- Mutate conditional format rules
Add, update, delete, or reorder conditional format rules on a Google Sheet. Use when you need to create, modify, or remove conditional formatting without manually building batchUpdate requests. Supports four operations: ADD (create new rule), UPDATE (replace existing rule), DELETE (remove rule), MOVE (reorder rules by changing index).
- Clear spreadsheet values
Clears cell content (preserving formatting and notes) from a specified A1 notation range in a Google Spreadsheet; the range must correspond to an existing sheet and cells.
- Delete Chart from Google Sheets
Delete an existing chart from a Google Sheets spreadsheet. Use this action when you need to remove a chart that is no longer needed or needs to be replaced. This action is irreversible — once a chart is deleted, it cannot be recovered. The chart data source (the cells containing the data) remains unchanged; only the chart visualization is removed.
Triggers
These are the trigger events currently available for Google Sheets.
- Aggregate Metric Changed
Triggers when an aggregate metric (SUM/COUNT/AVG/MIN/MAX) changes in a Google Sheets spreadsheet. This trigger monitors an aggregate calculation on a target column (optionally filtered by a search column/value) and fires when the calculated result changes.
- Cell Range Values Changed
Triggers when values in a specified A1 range change in Google Sheets. This trigger monitors a specific cell or range of cells and fires when any values change.
- Conditional Format Rule Changed
