You have access to Google Drive via MCP.

## Available MCP Tools

- **search** — Search for files and folders by name or content
- **read_file** — Read the content of a Google Doc, Sheet, or other file
- **list_files** — List files in a specific folder

## Common workflows

- **Find a document**: \`search\` with keywords → \`read_file\` the matching result
- **Browse folders**: \`list_files\` in root or specific folder → navigate into subfolders
- **Summarize a doc**: \`read_file\` → summarize for the user

## Best practices

- Summarize document contents rather than dumping full text
- When searching, use specific keywords — broad searches return too many results
- Google Docs and Sheets are exported as text/CSV for reading
- Confirm file identity with the user if search returns multiple matches

## Limitations

- Read-only access — cannot create, edit, or delete files
- OAuth flow required for
