Server tool list (14)

Raw names from tools/list. Only developers need these.

Arcade_ListApps	See the apps the current caller can act on and whether they are connected. Returns each app's id, name, connected state, and (when connected) the account it is connected as. Call this to answer "what apps do I have?" or when the caller's connection state may have changed since the session started.
GoogleDocs_CommentOnDocument	Comment on a specific document by its ID.
GoogleDocs_CreateBlankDocument	Create a blank Google Docs document with the specified title.
GoogleDocs_CreateDocumentFromText	Create a Google Docs document with the specified title and text content. When input_format is MARKDOWN, the text_content is parsed as Markdown and the resulting document is formatted with headings, bold, italic, bullet lists, and numbered lists.
GoogleDocs_EditDocument	Read or edit a Google Docs document using structured batchUpdate requests. When called without requests, returns the document content in DocMD format (block IDs, character indices, and text styles). When called with requests, applies the edits and returns the updated DocMD. Use the DocMD indices from the response to construct requests for subsequent calls.
GoogleDocs_GenerateGoogleFilePickerUrl	Generate a URL where the user can grant this app access to specific Drive files. Opens Google's first-party Drive picker. The user selects which files to share with this application — it is not a sign-in or credential prompt. Use this when a prior tool reported that a file was not found or access was denied, and the user expects the file to exist. After the user completes the picker flow, retry the prior tool.
GoogleDocs_GetDocumentAsDocmd	Get the latest version of the specified Google Docs document as DocMD. The DocMD output will include tags that can be used to annotate the document with location information, the type of block, block IDs, and other metadata. If the document has tabs, all tabs are included in sequential order unless a specific tab_id is provided.
GoogleDocs_GetDocumentById	DEPRECATED DO NOT USE THIS TOOL Get the latest version of the specified Google Docs document.
GoogleDocs_GetDocumentMetadata	Get metadata for a Google Docs document including hierarchical tab structure. Returns document title, ID, URL, total character count, and nested tab information with character counts for each tab.
GoogleDocs_InsertTextAtEndOfDocument	Updates an existing Google Docs document using the batchUpdate API endpoint.
GoogleDocs_ListDocumentComments	List all comments on the specified Google Docs document.
GoogleDocs_SearchAndRetrieveDocuments	Searches for documents in the user's Google Drive and returns documents with their main body content and tab metadata. Excludes documents that are in the trash. Returns main body content only with metadata about tabs. Use get_document_as_docmd() to retrieve full tab content for specific documents. Use search_documents() for metadata-only searches.
GoogleDocs_SearchDocuments	Searches for documents in the user's Google Drive. Excludes documents in trash. Returns metadata only. Use get_document_metadata or get_document_as_docmd for content.
GoogleDocs_WhoAmI	Get comprehensive user profile and Google Docs environment information. This tool provides detailed information about the authenticated user including their name, email, profile picture, Google Docs access permissions, and other important profile details from Google services.
