This is NOT the same as trash_file: when a user says 'delete', they almost always mean the reversibl… - `manage_comments` — Manages Drive comments on a file (Docs, Sheets, Slides, PDFs, images...). action=list pages through comments with their replies and resolved state (page_token; include_deleted shows tombstones); get fetches one (needs comment_id). create… - `manage_permissions` — Manages who can access a file. action=list shows the grants (id, type, role, emailAddress/domain, expirationTime, pendingOwner). action=share grants access: type=user/group (needs email_address), domain (needs domain), or anyone (link sh… - `raw_request` — Escape hatch to call any Google Drive API v3 path directly, for requests the typed tools don't cover — e.g. revisions ("drive/v3/files//revisions"), changes ("drive/v3/changes?pageToken=..."), shortcut creation (POST "drive/v3/fi… - `trash_file` — action=trash moves a file (or folder, with everything inside) to the Drive trash; action=restore brings it back. Trashing is REVERSIBLE — the file stays recoverable until the trash auto-purges it after ~30 days — and is the safe default … - `download_file` — Downloads a binary file's bytes. With save_path (absolute local path) the file is written to disk (refuses to overwrite unless overwrite=true) and the result reports saved_to/bytes; without save_path small textual files (≤100 KB, text/JS… - `get_file` — Returns a file's metadata (never its content — that is download_file/export_file): id, name, mimeType, size, parents, driveId, createdTime/modifiedTime, trashed, starred, description, md5Checksum, webViewLink, webContentLink, exportLinks… - `list_shared_drives` — Lists the shared drives (formerly Team Drives) the authorized user is a member of: id, name, createdTime, plus nextPageToken. Use a drive's id as drive_id in search_files to browse its contents, or as parent_id to list its root. name_con… - `search_files` — Searches and lists files and folders: id, name, mimeType, size, parents, driveId, modifiedTime, trashed, starred, webViewLink and shortcutDetails per file, plus nextPageToken. The convenience filters (name_contains, full_text_contains, m… - `copy_file` — Copies a file and returns the new copy's metadata (a fresh fileId — the original is untouched). name renames the copy (default: same name as the original, NOT 'Copy of ...'); parent_id places it in a folder (default: same parent as the o… - `create_folder` — Creates a folder (a Drive file with mimeType application/vnd.google-apps.folder) and returns its id, name, parents and webViewLink. parent_id places it inside a folder or a shared drive ('root' or omitted = My Drive top level). Drive all… - `export_file` — Exports (converts) a Google-native file — Doc, Sheet, Slides, Drawing — to a regular format. mime_type picks the target: Docs → text/markdown, text/plain, text/html, application/pdf, application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordproc… - `move_file` — Moves a file or folder into another folder (or shared drive) and returns id, name and the new parents. By default the file leaves all its current parents (a plain move); keep_existing_parents=true only adds the new parent — note that fil… - `update_file_metadata` — Renames a file and/or updates its description and starred flag — metadata only, the content is untouched (that is upload_file with file_id). Only the provided fields change; at least one is required. Works on folders too (folders are fil… - `upload_file` — Uploads content to Drive and returns the file's metadata. Without file_id it CREATES a new file (name required; parent_id places it); with file_id it REPLACES that file's content in place (same id, new bytes) — name/parent_id are ignored… ## Related servers - UnClick (1662 tools) — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-malamutemayhem-unclick-mcp-server.md - Apibase (1384 tools) — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-whiteknightonhorse-apibase.md - Delx Mcp A2a (1068 tools) — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-davidmosiah-delx-mcp-a2a.md - MCP Framework Personal (912 tools) — https://policylayer.com/tools/inggerman-mcps.md - Hermoso (896 tools) — https://policylayer.com/tools/hermoso.md - Nodebench (824 tools) — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-homenshum-nodebench.md - Altium-MCP-Suite (817 tools) — https://policylayer.com/tools/altium-mcp-suite.md - Eda Agent (777 tools) — https://policylayer.com/tools/eda-agent.md ## For agents This record is a snapshot.
