Every action, grouped by what it does

About connecting Google Drive

What can an AI agent do in Google Drive?

50 distinct actions, listed in full on this page — 16 to read, 16 to create & update, 9 to send & publish, 9 to manage. An agent gets the ones that match what you described it doing, not all of them at once.

How do I connect Google Drive?

Once, in Settings → Integrations. Sign in with your account (OAuth). The connection is yours, shared by every agent you build — you are not re-authorising per agent, and the agent never sees your credentials.

Can an agent react to something happening in Google Drive?

Yes — Google Drive exposes 7 triggers, so an agent can start work when something changes rather than waiting to be asked.
