Can I upload large files directly through this server?

The `upload_object` tool is designed for small to medium text-based content. For very large binary files or production datasets, it is recommended to use the gsutil CLI or the Google Cloud Console to ensure optimal transfer speeds and integrity.

How do I check if a bucket is publicly accessible?

You can use the `list_bucket_acl` or `get_bucket_iam` tools. The AI agent will retrieve the permissions and can identify if roles like 'allUsers' or 'allAuthenticatedUsers' have been granted access.

Can I move files between different buckets?

Yes! Use the `copy_object` tool to copy an object from a source bucket to a destination bucket. To 'move' it, you would typically copy the object first and then use `delete_object` on the source.
