• add_comment

  Post a comment on a Google Doc. With a target (exact text, heading_id, handle or cell) the comment is pinned to that passage; if Google refuses the comments view for the document it quotes the text instead and the editor shows it unanchored, which the result says. Without a target it is a comment on the document as a whole. Nothing in the document text changes. To propose an edit as a comment, use edit_document with mode comment. On a Markdown file (.md) the comment is written into the file under the signed-in account's name, the way the Docs editor writes its own, and needs a target. dry_run …

• create_document

  Create a new Google Doc in the signed-in account's Drive, optionally with initial content written as markdown (headings, formatting, lists, tables, images). Returns the id and URL. Initial content is written directly because a new document has nothing to suggest against. With kind markdown_file it makes a Markdown file (.md) instead, holding the content as written; such a file is edited as text. With from_file it makes a working copy of a Markdown file: a Google Doc holding its text, for working in together live with every write mode, which write_markdown_file writes back into the file.

• delete_comment

  Delete a comment thread, or one reply of it, from a Google Doc. Only the author can delete; a resolved thread is usually the better outcome (reply_comment with action resolve). Pass confirm_comment_id repeating comment_id exactly, and text_start, how the text it deletes begins as list_comments shows it; the call is refused otherwise. dry_run looks the comment up, checks both and stops.

• delete_tab

  Delete a tab of a Google Doc together with everything in it and any child tabs. Irreversible through this server (version history keeps the content). A document keeps at least one tab. Pass confirm_tab repeating the tab exactly, or the call is refused; dry_run resolves the tab and stops.

• diff_revisions

  Show what changed between two revisions of a Google Doc as a unified diff of Google's markdown (or plain text) export, with line counts per hunk. Pass from (older) and optionally to (newer, default current). Use list_revisions to pick ids.

• edit_document

  Change the text of a Google Doc with one batch of operations. Address content by exact text (quoted from a read), by heading_id or heading (a whole section), by block handle, or by cell; never by position numbers. Ops: insert (at a location), append (end of body), replace (minimal diff, so untouched words keep their formatting and comments), delete, replace_all (find/replace in one tab, by text or regex), insert_break (page break), insert_footnote, create_header, create_footer, delete_header, delete_footer (target: tab and segment), and the named-range ops: create_named_range names a target so…

• edit_table

  Create and change tables in a Google Doc. Ops: insert_table (rows, columns, optional data grid, at a location), set_cells (write cells by name or as a grid from start_cell; each cell is replaced by minimal diff), insert_rows, delete_rows, insert_columns, delete_columns, merge_cells, unmerge_cells, style_cells (background, vertical alignment, padding), style_columns (fixed width in points, or share the width evenly), style_rows (least height, keep a row off a page break), pin_header_rows (repeat the first n rows on every page). Tables are named by handle (tbl1) from a read with with_handles; ce…

• export_document

  Export a Google Doc through Google's converters. md, txt and html come back inline (budgeted by max_chars); pdf, docx, odt, rtf and epub are written as new files under the server's export directory, never over a file already there, and the path is returned. The markdown export is Google's own rendering, useful for a faithful whole-document dump; read_document is better for working with sections.

• find_in_document

  Find text or a regular expression in a Google Doc and return every match with its block handle, offset and surrounding context. Use it to locate passages before targeting them with edit_document (quote the matched text as the target) and to check how many times a phrase occurs.

• format_document

  Change formatting in a Google Doc without changing its text: text_style (bold, italic, underline, strikethrough, small caps, font, size, color, highlight, link, superscript), paragraph_style (named style such as HEADING_2 or NORMAL_TEXT, alignment, line spacing, spacing, indents), bullets (bullet, numbered, checkbox, or none), and clear_formatting. Targets work as in edit_document. This styles the passages you target: to restyle every paragraph carrying a style at once, and everything written with it later, redefine the style itself with layout_document's named_style op. Same mode, dry_run and…

• get_document

  Get metadata and structure counts for a Google Doc: title, tabs, the current revision id, owner, last modification, paragraph and word counts, pending suggestion count, and this server's capabilities (whether suggestion mode is available, the default write mode, read-only). Per tab it also reports what no read of the text shows: page setup, floating images, named ranges, and the named style definitions the tab's paragraphs carry (the font, size, color and spacing every heading or body paragraph inherits, with how many paragraphs of that tab carry each, headers and footnotes included; layout_do…

• get_outline

  Return the heading tree of a Google Doc per tab: each heading's stable heading_id, block handle, level, text, and the size of its section in blocks and words, plus per-tab counts of paragraphs, tables, headers, footers and footnotes. Use it to pick a section to read with read_document (pass heading_id) instead of reading a long document whole, and to learn block handles. Cheap.

• insert_object

  Insert, replace or delete a non-text object in a Google Doc. action insert (default) adds an image from a public URL (optionally sized in points), a person chip (email), a rich-link chip to a Google resource (Drive file, Calendar event, YouTube video), or a date chip at a location; objects go inline in a paragraph, so use edit_document for the surrounding text. action replace swaps an existing image's source while it keeps its place and size (crop center-crops the new image instead of resizing the frame). action delete removes an object, including a floating image, which no text range covers a…

• layout_document

  Change how a Google Doc is laid out rather than what it says. Ops: page (page size, margins, background color, landscape, where page numbering starts, whether the first and even pages get their own header and footer, pageless), section (the same for one section, plus 1-3 columns with an optional separating line and the gap between them), section_break (start a new section at a location, continuous or on the next page), and named_style (redefine NORMAL_TEXT, TITLE, SUBTITLE or HEADING_1 … HEADING_6 for the whole tab, which restyles every paragraph carrying that style and everything written with…

• list_comments

  List the comment threads of a Google Doc with their full history: author, time, quoted text, the block handle the comment sits on, resolved state, who it is assigned to, and every reply (including resolve and reopen actions). Resolved threads are included unless hide_resolved is set; deleted ones only with include_deleted. Thread ids feed reply_comment and delete_comment. On a Markdown file (.md) the comments made in the Docs editor live in the file, the line they sit on is shown as [L12], and the id of one written by this server changes each time the file is written until a person saves it in…
