Usage Example
For example,
- When you input “Retrieve the file list from My Drive” as a prompt,
- The LLM calls the
rootsandfolder_childrentools through MCP to retrieve the file list. - Then, it responds in the chat based on the tool call results.
Notes
- Be careful when processing large volumes of files in batch operations.
- File deletion is recoverable, but permanent deletion is irreversible, so use it carefully.
- File locking feature is only available for Google Workspace accounts.
