`file_id`	string	—	Identifier of the Google Drive file to update.
`mime_type`	string	—	MIME type of the 'content' being uploaded; must accurately represent its format.

Parameters from the server's own tool schema.

RISK

Why GOOGLESUPER_EDIT_FILE is rated Medium

This tool modifies data in Google Drive by overwriting file content. While the operation is reversible (previous versions may exist in Drive's version history, or users can restore from backups), it directly alters existing files without deletion. The high severity reflects the potential blast radius: an AI agent could overwrite critical documents, spreadsheets, or shared files affecting multiple users.
