Download a file from Google Drive to the /tmp directory or return its contents as a buffer. Use to fetch a file's contents for processing in downstream steps — e.g., parsing a CSV, extracting text from a PDF, or re-uploading to another service. For Google Workspace files (Docs, Sheets, Slides, Drawings, Apps Script), exports to an Office-compatible format by default: Docs → .docx, Sheets → .xlsx, Slides → .pptx, Drawings → PNG, Apps Script → JSON. Pass mimeType to force a specific format. Shortcuts are resolved to their target automatically. Folders, Forms, and My Maps cannot be downloaded via this action. See the documentation
