Can I search for files by their content, not just their name?

Yes! The `list_files` tool uses Google Drive's powerful search engine. You can use queries like 'fullText contains "marketing plan"' to find files based on the text inside them.

How do I share a file with someone using the AI agent?

Use the `create_permission` tool. You just need to provide the File ID, the person's email address, and the role you want to grant (e.g., 'reader', 'commenter', or 'writer').

Can I export a Google Sheet to a PDF through the chat?

Yes. The `export_file` tool allows you to specify a Google Doc/Sheet/Slide ID and a target MIME type like `application/pdf`. The agent will initiate the export for you.
