Gets the most recently modified Google Documents.
AI agents call getRecentGoogleDocs 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 metadata about recently modified documents without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. It is a read-only query operation that returns information about existing resources. The blast radius is minimal—worst case, it exposes document metadata that may already be accessible through normal Drive browsing.
