## Adding to an agent

1. Open your agent in **Agent Studio → Agent Builder**
2. Go to **Tools** and enable **Google Docs**
3. Select only the actions your agent needs
4. Set auth mode: **Shared** (agent acts on one account) or **Per-user** (each end-user connects their own account)

## Example use cases

**Automated report generation**
An agent retrieves data from a source, then uses `GOOGLEDOCS_CREATE_DOCUMENT_MARKDOWN` to generate a formatted report document with headings, tables, and bullet points, ready to share with stakeholders.

**Document template population**
An agent copies a template document using `GOOGLEDOCS_COPY_DOCUMENT`, then uses `GOOGLEDOCS_REPLACE_ALL_TEXT` to swap placeholder tokens with real values such as client name, date, and project details.

**Content search and update workflow**
An agent uses `GOOGLEDOCS_SEARCH_DOCUMENTS` to find all documents matching a keyword, then applies `GOOGLEDOCS_UPDATE_DOCUMENT_MARKDOWN` to update their content or `GOOGLEDOCS_INSERT_TEXT_ACTION` to append new information to each one.
