What This Tool Does

Give your AI agent access to Google Drive for seamless file management, organization, and collaboration. Search across your Drive to find files by name or content, download files to AgentPMT storage for processing, and upload new files back to Drive from AgentPMT storage or public URLs. Create folder structures with automatic path creation, move and copy files between folders, and manage sharing permissions to collaborate with others. Export Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides to formats like PDF, DOCX, or XLSX. This tool is essential for agents that need to work with documents stored in Drive, automate file organization, sync content between systems, or manage document workflows. All operations run securely through your connected Google OAuth account with support for both personal Drive and shared drives.

Common Workflows

1. Organize uploaded content into a folder structure

Use ensure_folder_path with ensure_path: "Projects/Client B/Assets" to create the full path
Use upload_file_from_storage with source_file_url or source_content_base64 and set parent_folder_path: "Projects/Client B/Assets"
Use share_file to grant the client read access

2. Download a Google Doc, convert, and reshare

Use search_files with query: "proposal draft" and mime_type: "document" to find the file
Use download_file_to_storage with the file_id and export_format: "docx" to get a Word version
The returned storage file ID can be used with other tools or re-uploaded elsewhere

3. Archive old files to a subfolder

Use search_files with folder_path: "Active Projects" to list files
Use ensure_folder_path with ensure_path: "Archive/2025" to ensure the archive folder exists
Use move_file for each file, setting destination_folder_path: "Archive/2025"

Important Notes

MIME type aliases: Use folder, document, spreadsheet, presentation, or drawing instead of full MIME strings when filtering searches
Folder path resolution: Paths use / separators (e.g., "Projects/Client A/Reports"). If a path segment matches multiple folders with the same name, the tool prefers the exact case match. If truly ambiguous, it returns candidate IDs so you can use the direct folder ID instead
Download size limits: Default 25 MiB, max 250 MiB. Increase max_bytes for larger files
Upload size limits: Default 25 MiB, max 250 MiB. Increase max_upload_bytes for larger files
Google Workspace exports: Google Docs export to PDF by default, Sheets to XLSX, Slides to PPTX, Drawings to PDF. Override with export_format
Shared drives: Included by default (include_shared_drives: true). Set to false to exclude
Trash vs delete: trash_file is recoverable; delete_file is permanent
Upload sources: Provide exactly one of source_file_id, source_file_url, or source_content_base64. Local filesystem paths are not supported
Downloaded files are stored temporarily and expire after expiration_days (default 7, max 7)
Pagination: When results exceed page_size, the response includes next_page_token. Pass it as page_token in the next request to get the next page

Live Schema And Examples

Use the compact schema above for ordinary calls. Before a new production integration, or whenever parameters, enum values, nested objects, outputs, or examples are unclear, fetch live details first.

Exact schema: call agentpmt-tool-search-and-execution with action: "get_schema", and tool_id: "google-drive".
Detailed examples: call agentpmt-tool-search-and-execution with action: "get_instructions" and tool_id: "google-drive", or call this product with action: "get_instructions" when the product tool is already selected.
Treat returned live schema and instructions as more specific than this generated summary.

Response Handling

Treat the returned JSON as the source of truth for this tool call.

If copy_file fails, preserve the request parameters and retry only after fixing schema, auth, or payment errors.

Security

Do not place account secrets, wallet private keys, mnemonics, signatures, or payment headers in prompts or logs.
Keep tool inputs scoped to the minimum content needed for the task.
Use the setup skills for credential handling; this product skill only defines product-specific behavior.
