Unmerge previously merged cells in a table.
AI agents use gdoc_unmerge_table_cells to create or update resources in Google Docs — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Google Docs environment.
The tool modifies document structure by unmerging table cells, which is a reversible write operation. It does not delete data (would be Destructive), execute arbitrary code (would be Execute), or involve financial transactions (would be Financial). The severity is medium because unintended table reformatting could disrupt document layout and readability, but the changes are reversible through re-merging cells.
