# Toolcape + Google Drive

Toolcape connects a company’s existing AI to its systems through one MCP entry point, with account connections, group and individual permissions, and audit logs. This documentation describes a product prototype; it is not evidence that a live server or account is connected.

## The connection
Google Drive: Google’s online file library for documents, PDFs and shared folders.
API connection · AI uses Toolcape through MCP
Provider sign-in (OAuth). Confirm whether the configured connection acts as the user or uses application permissions.

## Typical actions
- Read: Find files and read or export their contents
- Create: Create folders and copy files
- Change: Rename or move a file
Start with finding and reading files. Grant changes, sharing and permanent deletion separately. Editing text inside a Google Doc uses the Docs service.

## Setup
1. IT configures the provider app, API and requested scopes.
2. Provider sign-in (OAuth). Confirm whether the configured connection acts as the user or uses application permissions.
3. Make the service available in Toolcape. Set Everyone, group and individual rules for the actions actually needed. Adding a service does not grant access.
4. Connect the approved AI client to the actual Toolcape MCP address and sign in. Start with a harmless read-only task and check the audit log.

## Permissions
For personal delegated access, the provider account, approved app scopes and Toolcape rules must all permit the action. Shared accounts and application permissions may have other limits. Toolcape combines Everyone and group grants; a personal exception replaces inherited access for that service. Reading can disclose confidential information. Sharing, sending and deletion need separate consideration.

## Calling an operation
First discover which tools the connected Toolcape server actually exposes. If it offers search → describe → execute, find the relevant operation, inspect its input schema and permissions, then call it with validated inputs. Tool names vary by server; do not invent names, arguments, URLs or successful outcomes. Without connected tools, give setup guidance instead of claiming to perform actions.

## A useful first question
Find the latest delivery plan for Fjordvik and summarize it.

## If it fails
Check the account, expired authorization, app approval, provider scopes and Toolcape permissions. Share only redacted errors with support. Never paste passwords, tokens or client secrets into an AI conversation.

## My request
Guide me through connecting Google Drive to Toolcape, one step at a time. First ask whether I am a member or administrator and what I want to achieve. Explain which account to connect, what approval is needed, and how to test with a read-only action.

Use plain language. Do not ask for passwords, tokens or customer data. Do not assume you have access to Toolcape; tell me what to check myself if you have no connected tools. Explain proposed changes and ask for my confirmation before making them.

The question asks for guidance. It does not connect accounts or change permissions by itself.

Understand what you approve.

Can AI access more than I can?

OAuth means you approve access without giving Toolcape or your AI your password. You sign in with the provider, such as Microsoft or Google, and approve what the connection may do. Your organisation may need to approve it too.

Your accountWhich files and actions you already have access to.
The connectionThe access approved with the provider. It can be narrower than your own access.
ToolcapeThe actions your organisation permits for you and your groups.

All three must allow the action. “All access” in Toolcape does not unlock files your account cannot access, or permissions the provider has not approved.

Which account is connected matters

This applies when a connection acts on behalf of your own account. Shared accounts and application permissions can have different, broader rights and must be assessed separately. OAuth alone does not guarantee personal access limits.

MCP is how AI asks to use a tool. OAuth handles approved access. You can revoke the connection with the provider; this stops future access, but does not retract information already retrieved.
