Gets metadata about a spreadsheet including its title, URL, and a list of all sheets with their dimensions.
AI agents call getSpreadsheetInfo to retrieve information from Google Docs, Drive & Sheets MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
getSpreadsheetInfo performs a read-only query operation that retrieves and returns spreadsheet metadata. It does not create, modify, delete, or execute any operations. The low severity reflects that metadata exposure poses minimal risk compared to tools that can write, execute, or destroy data.
From the tool's definition Tool description states it 'Gets metadata about a spreadsheet including its title, URL, and a list of all sheets with their dimensions' — purely retrieves information with no modification or side effects.
