Lists all users, groups, and domains with access to a specific file or folder; use this first to find the permission_id required for updates or deletions
Generate MCP URLThe Google Drive Update Permission tool is ideal for workflows that need to adjust a collaborator's access level on a Google Drive file using patch semantics. A common use case is a staged review process, where a document moves through multiple reviewers and each person's role is updated as the document progresses through the workflow. Teams benefit when a temporary contributor needs their access level changed after completing their part of a project, without fully revoking and re-granting permissions. Developers use patch-based updates to make targeted changes to a single permission field without overwriting the full permission object. Operations teams can automate access tier changes as part of a larger approval workflow, ensuring each collaborator has exactly the right level of access at each stage. This tool is particularly useful in any automation where permission changes are incremental, frequent, or tied to specific workflow events in Google Drive.
1. Automated Document Retrieval & Summarization
AI agents search your Google Drive for relevant files, extract key information, and generate concise summaries - saving hours of manual document review.
2. File Organization & Cleanup
Automatically scan Google Drive for duplicates, misplaced files, and outdated documents, then organize them into structured folders based on project or team.
3. Cross-App Document Sync
AI agents pull data from CRMs, spreadsheets, and project tools, then create or update documents in Google Drive to keep all records in one place.
4. Knowledge Base Management
AI agents monitor Google Drive for new or updated documents and automatically index them into your team's knowledge base for instant searchability.
5. Compliance & Access Auditing
AI agents review file sharing permissions across Google Drive, flag externally shared sensitive documents, and generate audit reports for compliance teams.
Lists a file's or shared drive's permissions.
Revokes access to a file or folder by removing a specific permission ID; use this to immediately stop a user or group from accessing a resource.
Retrieves a paginated list of files and folders from the user's Drive or Shared Drives; use this to browse directory structures, search for specific filenames, or filter by file type using the query parameter.
Shares a file or folder with a new user, group, or domain by granting a specific role (e.g., reader, writer, or owner).
Creates a new file in Google Drive from a text string. This tool uses the Google Drive API's multipart upload protocol to specify metadata (like the file name and parent folder) and the file content (the text) in a single request. It is ideal for programmatically generating .txt files or other basic document formats.
