Gets detailed information about a specific folder in Google Drive.
AI agents call getFolderInfo to retrieve information from Google Docs & Drive MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves folder metadata and information without modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. It is a read-only query operation with minimal security impact, even if an AI agent misuses it by accessing unauthorized folders—the worst outcome would be information disclosure rather than data destruction or system compromise.
