Actions (24)

Add Single Row

Add a single row of data to Google Sheets. Optionally insert the row at a specific index (e.g., row 2 to insert after headers, shifting existing data down). See the documentation

Add Multiple Rows

Add multiple rows of data to a Google Sheet. See the documentation

Get Values in Range

Get all values or values from a range of cells using A1 notation. See the documentation

Add Conditional Format Rule

Create conditional formatting with color scales or custom formulas. See the documentation

Add Protected Range

Add Rows

Append one or more rows to a Google Sheets worksheet. Pass rows as a JSON array. **Preferred format:** array of objects with column header keys (e.g., [{"Name": "Alice", "Email": "alice@example.com"}]). Use **Get Spreadsheet Info** first to discover the exact column header names — keys must match headers exactly (case-sensitive). Alternatively, pass rows as arrays of positional values matching column order. New rows are appended after the last row with data.

Add Worksheet

Add a new worksheet (tab) to an existing spreadsheet. Optionally set column headers. Use **Get Spreadsheet Info** to see existing worksheets before creating.

Clear Cell

Delete the content of a specific cell in a spreadsheet. See the documentation

Clear Rows

Delete the content of a row or rows in a spreadsheet. Deleted rows will appear as blank rows. See the documentation

Copy Worksheet

Copy an existing worksheet to another Google Sheets file. See the documentation

Create Column

Create a new column in a spreadsheet. See the documentation

Create Spreadsheet

Create a blank spreadsheet or duplicate an existing spreadsheet. See the documentation

Find Rows

Get Cell

Fetch the contents of a specific cell in a spreadsheet. See the documentation

Get Current User

Retrieve Google Sheets account metadata for the authenticated user by calling Drive's about.get, returning the user profile (display name, email, permission ID) and storage quota information. Helpful when you need to verify which Google account is active, tailor sheet operations to available storage, or give an LLM clear context about the user identity before composing read/write actions. See the Drive API documentation.

Get Spreadsheet by ID

Returns the spreadsheet at the given ID. See the documentation for more information

Get Spreadsheet Info

Get the structure of a Google Spreadsheet — worksheet names, column headers (first row of each sheet), and row counts. **Call this first** before reading or writing data, so you know the worksheet names and column headers. The column headers are used as keys when writing data with **Add Rows** or **Update Rows**. The spreadsheet ID is the long string in the Google Sheets URL: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/{spreadsheetId}/edit.

Insert an Anchored Note

Insert a note on a spreadsheet cell. See the documentation
