Lists Google Documents from your Google Drive with optional filtering.
AI agents call listGoogleDocs to retrieve information from Google 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 and displays existing Google Documents with optional filters. It performs a read-only query operation that does not create, modify, delete, or execute any operations. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an agent could only access/enumerate documents the authenticated user already has access to, with no ability to alter state or trigger external actions.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'listGoogleDocs' and description 'Lists Google Documents from your Google Drive with optional filtering' indicate retrieval/query operations with no side effects or data modification.

"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"listGoogleDocs": {}
}
}listGoogleDocs is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
