WHAT IT DOES

What set_paragraph_bullets does on Mcp Google Docs

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

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
`preset`	string	—	The bullet/numbering style to apply.
`remove`	boolean	—	true removes existing bullets instead of applying a preset.
`tab_id`	string	—	Tab to target (from list_tabs). Omit for the first/only tab.
`end_index`	integer	Yes	End of the paragraph range (exclusive).
`document_id`	string	Yes	The document id — the long id from the document URL (docs.google.com/document/d/<documentId>/edit) or from create_document output.
`start_index`	integer	Yes	Start of the paragraph range (inclusive).

Parameters from the server's own tool schema.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs set_paragraph_bullets safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Mcp Google Docs, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For set_paragraph_bullets, this is the rule to start with:

set_paragraph_bullets Rate-limited

set_paragraph_bullets stays usable, but capped: an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

FAQ

Questions about set_paragraph_bullets

What does the set_paragraph_bullets tool do? +

Turns the paragraphs overlapping [start_index, end_index) into a list, or removes their bullets with remove=true. Presets: disc, arrow, checkbox, star, diamond (bulleted); decimal, decimal_parens, decimal_nested, upper_alpha, upper_roman, zero_decimal (numbered).
