Create Google Doc
Tool ID: googledrive_doc_create
Summary
Creates a new Google Doc with a title and optional plain-text body. Requires your explicit confirmation. Prefer naming a shared folder so the file is easy for your team to find.
When to use it
- New document — Meeting notes, a brief, a draft letter.
- Seed with text — Create the Doc and insert a plain-text starting body in one step.
- Put it in the right place — Create directly inside a known folder id.

Example prompts
Create a Google Doc titled “Kickoff notes” in folder id 1XyZ… with a short agenda as the body. Ask me to confirm before creating it.
I confirm — create that Doc now.
Make an empty Google Doc called “Vendor checklist” in our Shared Projects folder. Confirm with me first.
Tips
- Confirm clearly — Creation does not run until you approve. There is no dry-run for this tool.
- Shared folder — Strongly recommended when Drive is connected via a service account; otherwise the file may only appear in that account’s Drive.
- Plain text body — Formatting beyond plain text needs to be done afterward in Google Docs.
- Find the folder first — Use Browse or Search to get the right
folder_id.
