How do I specify which cells to read or update?

You use 'A1 notation'. For example, 'Sheet1!A1:B5' refers to the first two columns and first five rows of the tab named 'Sheet1'. If you just say 'Sheet1', it attempts to read the active data range.

Can I add a new row of data without knowing the exact empty row number?

Yes! Use the `append_sheet_values` tool. You simply provide the range of the table (e.g., 'Sheet1!A:C') and the data you want to add. It automatically appends to the next empty row.

Can it delete sheets completely?

The tool endpoints are restricted to inside-sheet operations. It cannot delete the root spreadsheet itself from your Drive to prevent catastrophic destructive commands.
