Can the AI understand the raw tabular data of my spreadsheet?

Yes. When you call the `get_sheet_details` tool, the server returns the spreadsheet's metadata, including all column names, types (e.g., date, dropdown), and rows. The AI maps the internal IDs together to form a highly accurate contextual grid of your project.

Does my agent need to use a sheet ID?

No manual hunting needed! While the underlying tool does require a sheet ID, you can just tell your bot, 'Find our Onboarding Spreadsheet and read the rows'. The AI will first scan via `list_sheets`, match the textual name to the ID, and then naturally pull the targeted entity.

How do I list folders within a workspace?

Your AI agent will act autonomously. Ask it to 'check our Engineering workspace' and it will first fetch its workspace ID and intelligently map the nested sub-folders and sheets stored inside. You can instruct it to keep going deeper as needed.
