🔐 Security
- Never commit credentials (
credentials.json,token.json) - OAuth tokens expire after 1 hour (auto-refresh handled)
- Revoke access at https://myaccount.google.com/permissions
- User-based authentication - only accesses user's documents
- Monitor usage in Google Cloud Console
📊 Performance
- Average Response Time: 725ms per operation (includes Drive API)
- Document Read: ~300ms (fast, cached by Google)
- Text Editing: ~450ms (simple updates)
- Drive Operations: ~650ms (includes Drive API calls)
- API Quotas: 300 requests per minute per user
🔄 Multi-Tab Document Support
Google Docs now supports multiple tabs. This server fully supports this feature:
// Tab-aware tools accept optional tabId parameter
- readGoogleDoc
- appendToGoogleDoc
- insertText
- deleteRange
Usage:
- List tabs with
listDocumentTabs - Target specific tab with
tabIdparameter - Works without
