Feature & Specification Comparison
Tools & Capabilities Breakdown
Ve Gws Tools (123)
start_google_auth
Manually initiate Google OAuth authentication flow.
NOTE: This is a legacy OAuth 2.0 tool and is disabled when OAuth 2.1 is enabled.
The authentication system automatically handles credential checks and prompts for
authentication when needed. Only use this tool if:
1. You need to re-authenticate with different credentials
2. You want to proactively authenticate before using other tools
3. The automatic authentication flow failed and you need to retry
In most cases, simply try calling the Google Workspace tool you need - it will
automatically handle authentication if required.
search_gmail_messages
Searches messages in a user's Gmail account based on a query.
Returns both Message IDs and Thread IDs for each found message, along with Gmail web interface links for manual verification.
Supports pagination via page_token parameter.
get_gmail_message_content
Retrieves the full content (subject, sender, recipients, body) of a specific Gmail message.
Bodies are returned inline and truncated at 20,000 characters. Set full=True to
get the complete, untruncated message instead: it is exported to disk and the
response carries a short-lived download URL (HTTP transport) or file path (stdio
transport) rather than the body, so large messages never stream through the model
context. Stateless deployments have no file storage, so there full=True returns the
untruncated body inline.
