Google Workspace

Connect your agents to Google Workspace for Gmail, Drive (including shared drives), Calendar, Docs, Sheets, Slides, Meet, Chat, Tasks, and more.

105 tools across 14 Google services.

Tool	Description

Agents can send, list, and read emails. The gmail_list tool supports Gmail query syntax (e.g., from:support@company.com is:unread).

Google Drive (11 tools)

Full CRUD operations with shared drives support.

drive_rename	Rename a file or folder
drive_delete	Trash or permanently delete a file
drive_list_shared_drives	List all accessible shared drives

Shared Drives

When a team has a provisioned shared drive, it is automatically used as the default for file operations. Agents do not need to specify a drive ID -- they can just call drive_list or drive_upload and it targets the team drive.

Agents can also work with shared drives across your organization by listing available drives and specifying a driveId.

Google Workspace Native Formats

When reading Google Docs, Sheets, Slides, or Drawings, the content is automatically exported:

Google Format	Default Export
Google Docs	Plain text
Google Sheets	CSV
Google Slides	Plain text
Google Drawings	PNG

You can override the export format by specifying an exportMimeType (e.g., text/html or application/pdf).

Tools marked "Requires Approval" are gated because they incur costs (license fees) or create organization-wide resources. A human must approve before the agent can execute them.

Automatic Workspace Provisioning

When you start a team with Google Workspace connected, MeetLoyd can automatically create a Shared Drive for the team with standard folders (Reports, Working, Shared, Archive) and add agents as members.

• Service account configured: Workspace created automatically during team first-start
• No service account: A guided task is created for your admin to set up manually

Team bosses and lead agents get organizer access, regular agents get writer access.

After provisioning, workspace details (drive name, ID, URL, folders) are automatically injected into agent prompts so agents immediately know about their team workspace.

Drive-Only Fallback

Agents without a personal email can still use all Drive, Docs, Sheets, and Slides tools through the service account directly (no per-agent Google Workspace license needed). Gmail, Calendar, and other user-specific tools still require a personal email.

See Team Workspace Provisioning for full details.

Files & Attachments Integration

Google Drive tools work alongside MeetLoyd's file management system:

• Agents can read files from Drive and reference them in conversations
• Agents can upload generated documents to Drive or shared drives
• Files downloaded from Drive can be parsed and chunked for RAG via the MeetLoyd file parser
• Chat file attachments are stored locally; Drive files stay in Google's infrastructure

Setup & Configuration

Authentication Options

There are two ways to connect Google Workspace:

Method	Best For	How It Works
Service Account (recommended)	Production agent teams	Domain-wide delegation; agent impersonates its assigned email
OAuth (interactive)	Quick testing, individual use	User authorizes in browser; tokens stored per-connection

Service Account Setup

1. Create a service account in Google Cloud Console
2. Enable the APIs you need (Gmail API, Drive API, Calendar API, etc.)
3. In Google Admin Console, go to Security > API controls > Domain-wide delegation
4. Add your service account client ID with the required scopes
5. Store the service account credentials in MeetLoyd's vault
6. Assign an email address to each agent that needs Gmail or Calendar access

Required OAuth Scopes

Service	Scopes
Gmail	gmail.readonly, gmail.send, gmail.modify, gmail.compose
Drive	drive, drive.file
Docs/Sheets/Slides	documents, spreadsheets, presentations
Calendar	calendar, calendar.events
Chat	chat.spaces, chat.messages, chat.memberships
Tasks	tasks
Vault	ediscovery

Admin Tools Setup

Admin tools require additional domain-wide delegation scopes:

Scope	Purpose
admin.directory.user	User provisioning
admin.directory.group	Group management
drive	Shared drive creation

Enable the Admin SDK API in Google Cloud Console before configuring these scopes.

Best Practices

Use minimal scopes. Only request the scopes your agents actually need. If an agent only reads emails, use gmail.readonly instead of gmail.modify.

Use shared drives for team content. Shared drives provide consistent access for all agents in a team without per-user sharing.

Specify export formats explicitly. When reading Google Workspace files, specify the export format if the default does not suit your needs (e.g., text/html for formatted docs).

Troubleshooting

"Access Denied" -- Check that the user has a Google Workspace license, verify OAuth scopes include the required API, and check the Google Admin console for API restrictions.

"Rate Limit Exceeded" -- Google APIs have per-user and per-project limits:

API	Limit
Gmail	250 quota units/user/second
Drive	12,000 requests/day
Calendar	500 requests/100 seconds

"Invalid Grant" -- The OAuth token has expired or been revoked. Re-authorize the connection from the Integrations page.
