Google-Drive

The Google-Drive agent connector is a Python package that equips AI agents to interact with Google-Drive through strongly typed, well-documented tools. It's ready to use directly in your Python app, in an agent framework, or exposed through an MCP.

Google Drive is a cloud-based file storage and synchronization service that allows users to store files, share content, and collaborate on documents. This connector provides read-only access to files, shared drives, permissions, comments, replies, revisions, and change tracking for data analysis and integration workflows.

Example questions

The Google-Drive connector is optimized to handle prompts like these.

• List all files in my Google Drive
• Show me details for a recent file
• Download a recent file from my Drive
• Export a recent Google Doc as PDF
• Export a recent Google Sheet as CSV
• Show me the content of a recent file
• List all shared drives I have access to
• Show me details for a shared drive I have access to
• Show permissions for a recent file
• List comments on a recent file
• Show replies to a recent comment on a file
• Show revision history for a recent file
• Get my Drive storage quota and user info
• List files in a folder I have access to
• Show me files modified in the last week
• What changes have been made since my last sync?

Unsupported questions

The Google-Drive connector isn't currently able to handle prompts like these.

• Create a new file in Google Drive
• Upload a document to Drive
• Delete a file from Drive
• Update file permissions
• Add a comment to a file
• Move a file to a different folder

Installation

uv pip install airbyte-agent-google-drive

Usage

Connectors can run in open source or hosted mode.

Open source

In open source mode, you provide API credentials directly to the connector.

from airbyte_agent_google_drive import GoogleDriveConnector
from airbyte_agent_google_drive.models import GoogleDriveAuthConfig

connector = GoogleDriveConnector(
    auth_config=GoogleDriveAuthConfig(
        access_token="<Your Google OAuth2 Access Token (optional, will be obtained via refresh)>",
        refresh_token="<Your Google OAuth2 Refresh Token>",
        client_id="<Your Google OAuth2 Client ID>",
        client_secret="<Your Google OAuth2 Client Secret>"
    )
)

@agent.tool_plain # assumes you're using Pydantic AI
@GoogleDriveConnector.tool_utils
async def google_drive_execute(entity: str, action: str, params: dict | None = None):
    return await connector.execute(entity, action, params or {})

Hosted

In hosted mode, API credentials are stored securely in Airbyte Cloud. You provide your Airbyte credentials instead.

This example assumes you've already authenticated your connector with Airbyte. See Authentication to learn more about authenticating. If you need a step-by-step guide, see the hosted execution tutorial.

from airbyte_agent_google_drive import GoogleDriveConnector, AirbyteAuthConfig

connector = GoogleDriveConnector(
    auth_config=AirbyteAuthConfig(
        external_user_id="<your_external_user_id>",
        airbyte_client_id="<your-client-id>",
        airbyte_client_secret="<your-client-secret>"
    )
)

@agent.tool_plain # assumes you're using Pydantic AI
@GoogleDriveConnector.tool_utils
async def google_drive_execute(entity: str, action: str, params: dict | None = None):
    return await connector.execute(entity, action, params or {})
