# Google Docs

Operate **Google Docs** through your OOMOL-connected account. This skill calls the `googledocs` connector with the [oo CLI](https://github.com/oomol-lab/oo-cli); OOMOL injects credentials server-side, so you never handle raw tokens.

Category: Productivity. Exposes 32 action(s).

## Running an action

Assume the user has already installed the oo CLI, signed in, and connected Google Docs. **Do not run `oo auth login` or open the connection URL proactively — just run the action.** Fall back to [First-time setup](#first-time-setup) only when a command actually fails with an auth or connection error.

**1. Inspect the contract** to get the authoritative input/output schema before building a payload:

```bash
oo connector schema "googledocs" --action "<action_name>"
```

**2. Run the action** with a JSON payload that matches the input schema:

```bash
oo connector run "googledocs" --action "<action_name>" --data '<json>' --json
```

- `--data` takes a JSON object string or `@path/to/file.json`; omit it to send `{}`.
- The response is `{ "data": ..., "meta": { "executionId": "..." } }`; the execution id lives under `meta.executionId`.

Each action below links to a reference file with its purpose and exact commands. Read the linked file, then fetch the live schema with `oo connector schema` before constructing `--data`.

## Available actions

- [`copy_document`](actions/copy_document.md) — Copy an existing Google Docs document through Google Drive. If `title` is omitted, Google assigns the default copied-document title.
- [`create_document`](actions/create_document.md) — Create a Google Docs document and optionally insert initial text at the beginning. Returns document metadata without the full body content.
- [`create_document2`](actions/create_document2.md) — Create a blank Google Docs document. This legacy compatibility action is the no-initial-text variant of `create_document`.
- [`create_footer`](actions/create_footer.md) — Create a footer in a Google Docs document, optionally targeting a specific section break location.
- [`create_footnote`](actions/create_footnote.md) — Create a footnote in a Google Docs document at a specific location or at the end of a segment.
- [`create_header`](actions/create_header.md) — Create a header in a Google Docs document and optionally insert initial text. You can also target a specific section break location.
- [`create_named_range`](actions/create_named_range.md) — Create a named range over a specific span in a Google Docs document so it can be referenced later by name or ID.
- [`create_paragraph_bullets`](actions/create_paragraph_bullets.md) — Add bullets to paragraphs within a specified range in a Google Docs document.
- [`delete_content_range`](actions/delete_content_range.md) — Delete a content range from a Google Docs document. The trailing newline at the end of each segment cannot be removed.
- [`delete_footer`](actions/delete_footer.md) — Delete a footer from a Google Docs document, including a section-specific footer when applicable.
- [`delete_header`](actions/delete_header.md) — Delete a header from a Google Docs document, including a section-specific header when applicable.
- [`delete_named_range`](actions/delete_named_range.md) — Delete a named range from a Google Docs document using a payload that identifies the range by ID or name.
- [`delete_paragraph_bullets`](actions/delete_paragraph_bullets.md) — Remove bullets from paragraphs within a specified range in a Google Docs document.
- [`delete_table_column`](actions/delete_table_column.md) — Delete one or more table columns from a Google Docs document.
- [`delete_table_row`](actions/delete_table_row.md) — Delete a table row from a Google Docs document.
- [`export_document_as_pdf`](actions/export_document_as_pdf.md) — Export a Google Docs file as a PDF through Google Drive. Google Drive limits export content to roughly 10 MB.
- [`get_document_by_id`](actions/get_document_by_id.md) — Retrieve a Google Docs document by ID. Use `include_tabs_content` when you need tab content in the response.
- [`get_document_plaintext`](actions/get_document_plaintext.md) — Retrieve a Google Docs document and render it as best-effort plain text. This flattens paragraphs, lists, tables, and optional headers, footers, or footnotes.
- [`insert_inline_image`](actions/insert_inline_image.md) — Insert an inline image from a URI at a specified location in a Google Docs document.
- [`insert_page_break`](actions/insert_page_break.md) — Insert a page break at a specified location in a Google Docs document.
- [`insert_table_action`](actions/insert_table_action.md) — Insert a table at a specific index or at the end of a segment in a Google Docs document.
- [`insert_table_column`](actions/insert_table_column.md) — Insert one or more table columns at a specified location in a Google Docs document.
- [`insert_text_action`](actions/insert_text_action.md) — Insert text at a specific index or append it to the end of a Google Docs document. When inserting by index, the position must be inside an existing paragraph.
- [`list_spreadsheet_charts`](actions/list_spreadsheet_charts.md) — List chart metadata from a Google Sheets spreadsheet so charts can be referenced or embedded elsewhere, including in Google Docs.
- [`replace_all_text`](actions/replace_all_text.md) — Replace all matching text in a Google Docs document. Supports case-sensitive and regex-based matching.
- [`replace_image`](actions/replace_image.md) — Replace an existing image in a Google Docs document with a new image from a URI.
- [`search_documents`](actions/search_documents.md) — Search Google Docs files with filters such as query text, dates, starred state, trash state, or shared-drive visibility.
- [`unmerge_table_cells`](actions/unmerge_table_cells.md) — Unmerge previously merged table cells in a Google Docs document.
- [`update_document_batch`](actions/update_document_batch.md) — Apply raw Docs `batchUpdate` requests to a Google Docs document. This is the lower-level compatibility action for direct request arrays.
- [`update_document_style`](actions/update_document_style.md) — Update global document style settings such as page size, margins, or text direction in a Google Docs document.
- [`update_existing_document`](actions/update_existing_document.md) — Apply one or more programmatic edits to an existing Google Docs document through `batchUpdate`. Use this for structured insert, delete, or formatting changes.
- [`update_table_row_style`](actions/update_table_row_style.md) — Update the style of a table row in a Google Docs document, such as row height or header formatting.

## Safety

- Read actions (get / list / search) are safe to run directly.
- **Create, update, send, or post actions change Google Docs state — confirm the exact payload and effect with the user before running.**
- **Delete or remove actions are destructive — always confirm the target and get explicit approval first.**

## First-time setup

These are **one-time** steps — do not repeat them on every call. Run a step only when a command fails for the matching reason.

- **`oo: command not found`** — install the oo CLI (other platforms: <https://cli.oomol.com/install-guide.md>):

  ```bash
  curl -fsSL https://cli.oomol.com/install.sh | bash    # macOS / Linux
  ```

  ```powershell
  irm https://cli.oomol.com/install.ps1 | iex           # Windows PowerShell
  ```

- **Not signed in / authentication error** — sign in to your OOMOL account once:

  ```bash
  oo auth login
  ```

- **`scope_missing` / `credential_expired` / `app_not_ready` / `app_not_found`** — Google Docs is not connected, or the connection expired or lacks a scope. Connect once (auth type: OAuth2) at:

  ```text
  https://console.oomol.com/app-connections?provider=googledocs
  ```

- **HTTP 402 / `OOMOL_INSUFFICIENT_CREDIT`** — billing stop. Recharge at `https://console.oomol.com/billing/token-recharge` before retrying.
