Read the current formatting of a range of cells in Google Sheets — bold, italic, font size and family, text and background colors (as hex), alignment, wrapping, number formats and borders — plus worksheet-level layout (frozen rows/columns, merged ranges, hidden gridlines). Use this to answer questions about how a sheet looks ('is the header row bold?', 'what format is column C?', 'is the top row frozen?'), to check the result of a Format Cells or Format Worksheet call, or to copy one range's styling onto another. To read cell values instead of their styling, use Read Rows. range is A1 notation WITHOUT the worksheet name (A1:F1, C2:C50). Attributes left at their Google Sheets default are omitted from each cell, so whatever comes back is formatting that was deliberately applied. Example: to check how a header row is styled, call with sheetName="Financials", range="A1:F1" → returns one entry per cell such as {cell: "A1", value: "Region", bold: true, backgroundColor: "#1155cc", textColor: "#ffffff", horizontalAlignment: "CENTER"} alongside {frozenRowCount: 1, mergedRanges: []}. See the documentation

Change worksheet-level layout in Google Sheets: freeze header rows or columns, auto-resize columns to fit their contents, set explicit column widths or row heights, hide gridlines, color the sheet tab, or rename the worksheet. Use this when a user asks to freeze/lock a header row, make columns wide enough to read, widen or narrow a column, or tidy up a sheet they just uploaded or imported. autoResizeColumns is usually what fixes an imported sheet where columns are too narrow and numbers show as ####. To style the cells themselves (bold, colors, number formats), use Format Cells. Use Get Spreadsheet Info to discover worksheet names. Example: to lock the header row and fit every column to its content on a freshly imported sheet, call with sheetName="Q3 Revenue", freezeRows=1, autoResizeColumns="ALL" → returns the layout changes applied plus a link to the worksheet. See the documentation

Apply formatting to a range of cells in a Google Sheets worksheet: bold/italic/underline, font size and family, text and background color, alignment, text wrapping, number formats (currency, percent, date), borders, and cell merging. Use this whenever a user asks to style, highlight, bold, color, align, wrap, merge, or number-format cells — including making a header row stand out. To change cell values instead, use Update Multiple Rows; to freeze rows or resize columns, use Format Worksheet; to style cells based on their contents, use Add Conditional Formatting. Use Get Spreadsheet Info to discover worksheet names, and Read Rows to see which cells hold the data you want to format. Colors accept a hex code (#1a73e8, #fff) or a common name (light gray, dark blue, yellow). range is A1 notation WITHOUT the worksheet name — A1:F1 (a block), B:B (a whole column), 2:2 (a whole row), or A1 (one cell). Only the attributes you pass are changed; everything else in the range keeps its current formatting. Example: to make the header row of a 6-column sheet bold, white on dark blue, and centered, call with sheetName="Financials", range="A1:F1", bold=true, textColor="#ffffff", backgroundColor="#1155cc", horizontalAlignment="CENTER" → returns the applied attributes plus a link to the worksheet. See the documentation

Add a conditional formatting rule to a range in Google Sheets, so cells style themselves based on their contents — highlight values over a threshold, flag blanks, color-code by text, or apply a red-to-green color scale. Use this when the user wants formatting driven by the data ('highlight anything over 100', 'make overdue rows red', 'heat-map the revenue column'). For formatting that applies to cells regardless of their value, use Format Cells instead. Use Get Spreadsheet Info to discover worksheet names and Read Rows to see the values you're writing a rule against. range is A1 notation WITHOUT the worksheet name (B2:B100, C:C). values supplies the numbers/text the condition compares against: one value for most conditions, two for NUMBER_BETWEEN, none for IS_BLANK/IS_NOT_BLANK/COLOR_SCALE, and a formula starting with = for CUSTOM_FORMULA. Example: to highlight revenue cells above 10000 with a light green fill, call with sheetName="Financials", range="B2:B100", condition="NUMBER_GREATER", values="10000", backgroundColor="light green" → returns the rule that was created and its index on the sheet.

Deletes the specified rows from a spreadsheet. See the documentation

Overwrite cells in an existing row of a Google Sheet. Provide row (the 1-based row number — use Find Rows or Read Rows to get it from a row's _rowNumber) and myColumnData, a positional array of values starting at column A (e.g. ["Alice","alice@ingen.test","Engineering"]). Values are written left-to-right from column A, so include the current value of every column up to the one you're changing (read them first via Get Spreadsheet Info / Read Rows); columns after your last value are left unchanged, not cleared. To add a new row instead of overwriting one, use Add Single Row. See the documentation

Overwrite a contiguous block of cells in a Google Sheet, defined by an A1 range. Provide range WITHOUT the worksheet name — just the cells, e.g. A2:C3 (the tool prepends the worksheet automatically; passing Sheet1!A2:C3 will fail). Provide rows as a JSON array of arrays matching the range, each inner array a row in column order (e.g. range A2:C3 with [["Alice","alice@ingen.test","Active"],["Bob","bob@ingen.test","Active"]]). Use Read Rows to see current values and Get Spreadsheet Info for the column order. This overwrites the range in place; to insert rows and shift others down, use Add Single Row. See the documentation

Read rows from a Google Sheets worksheet. Returns data as objects (keys = column headers from row 1) by default, or as raw arrays. Use Get Spreadsheet Info first to discover worksheet names. Optionally specify a range in A1 notation (e.g., A2:D10) to read a subset. For searching rows by value, use Find Rows instead.

Create a new Google Spreadsheet with an optional worksheet name and column headers. Returns the spreadsheet ID and URL. Use the spreadsheet ID with other tools to read/write data.

List Google Spreadsheets accessible to the authenticated user. Optionally search by name with query. Returns an array of { spreadsheetId, name, url } whose IDs can be used with all other tools. Returns up to limit results (default 20); when more may exist the summary says so — raise limit to fetch them. See the documentation

Get the structure of a Google Spreadsheet — worksheet names, column headers (first row of each sheet), and row counts. Call this first before reading or writing data, so you know the worksheet names and column headers. The column headers are used as keys when writing data with Add Rows or Update Rows. The spreadsheet ID is the long string in the Google Sheets URL: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/{spreadsheetId}/edit.

Search for rows matching a value in a specific column. Use Get Spreadsheet Info to discover column header names. Returns matching rows as objects with row numbers (useful for subsequent Update Rows calls). For simple reads without filtering, use Read Rows instead.

Add a new worksheet (tab) to an existing spreadsheet. Optionally set column headers. Use Get Spreadsheet Info to see existing worksheets before creating.

Add a single row to a Google Sheet. By default the row is appended to the end. To INSERT the row at a specific position instead — pushing the rows at and below that position DOWN without overwriting them — set Row Index (e.g. Row Index 2 inserts directly below a header row). Use this tool (not Update Row or Update Multiple Rows) whenever the goal is to insert a row between existing rows or add a row while keeping every current row: the Update tools overwrite cells in place and do NOT shift rows down. See the documentation

Append one or more rows to a Google Sheets worksheet. Pass rows as a JSON array. Preferred format: array of objects with column header keys (e.g., [{"Name": "Alice", "Email": "alice@example.com"}]). Use Get Spreadsheet Info first to discover the exact column header names — keys must match headers exactly (case-sensitive). Alternatively, pass rows as arrays of positional values matching column order. New rows are appended after the last row with data.

Append multiple rows to a Google Sheet in one call. Provide rows as a JSON array of arrays — each inner array is one row, with cell values in column order (e.g. [["Alice","alice@ingen.test","Engineering"],["Bob","bob@ingen.test","Paleontology"]]). Use Get Spreadsheet Info first to see the column order. Rows are appended after the last row with data. To add a single row, or to insert at a specific position, use Add Single Row instead.
