The response includes a flattened tabs array in UI order. Each item contains tab_id, title/hierarchy metadata, extracted text_content, and the complete document_tab structure with Google-provided startIndex and endIndex values. Use those returned indices and the matching tab_id for subsequent updates.

Indices are zero-based UTF-16 code-unit offsets; startIndex is inclusive and endIndex is exclusive. Refetch the document after edits that can shift indices.

Live Schema And Examples

Use the compact schema above for ordinary calls. Before a new production integration, or whenever parameters, enum values, nested objects, outputs, or examples are unclear, fetch live details first.

• Exact schema: call agentpmt-tool-search-and-execution with action: "get_schema", and tool_id: "google-docs-connector".
• Detailed examples: call agentpmt-tool-search-and-execution with action: "get_instructions" and tool_id: "google-docs-connector", or call this product with action: "get_instructions" when the product tool is already selected.
• Treat returned live schema and instructions as more specific than this generated summary.

MCP schema lookup through the main AgentPMT MCP server:

{
  "method": "tools/call",

    "arguments": {
      "action": "get_schema",
      "tool_id": "google-docs-connector"
    }
  }
}

For live examples, keep the same MCP tool and use these arguments:

{
  "action": "get_instructions",
  "tool_id": "google-docs-connector"
}

Response Handling

• Treat the returned JSON as the source of truth for this tool call.
• If the response includes warnings or correction targets, apply them before retrying.
• If the response includes a passed or success-style boolean, use it as the workflow gate.
• If validation fails or the response shape is unclear, call get_schema or get_instructions before retrying.
• If batch_update fails, preserve the request parameters and retry only after fixing schema, auth, or payment errors.

Security

• Do not place account secrets, wallet private keys, mnemonics, signatures, or payment headers in prompts or logs.
• Keep tool inputs scoped to the minimum content needed for the task.
• Use the setup skills for credential handling; this product skill only defines product-specific behavior.
