## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0)

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",

  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "groupRows",

## Why groupRows is rated Medium

The tool modifies a Google Sheet by adding dimension groups to rows, which changes the sheet's state and presentation. This is a Write operation because it creates/modifies data structure reversibly—row grouping can be undone without data loss. It does not delete data (would be Destructive), execute arbitrary code (would be Execute), or pose financial risk.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool description states it 'Creates collapsible row groups' using the Sheets API 'addDimensionGroup request', which modifies the structure and formatting of a Google Sheet. This is a reversible structural modification (groups can be ungrouped)."

## Use case

AI agents use groupRows to create or update resources in Claude MCP x Google Docs, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Claude MCP x Google Docs environment.
