  • Every action requires manual approval
  • Ensures safe and controlled execution

โš ๏ธ Important Notes

Do NOT commit:

  • credentials.json
  • token.json

Approval is CLI-based (terminal input) Designed for local development


โš ๏ธ Approval Flow

Every action requires manual approval in terminal:

ACTION: append_to_doc
PAYLOAD: {...}
Approve? (y/n):

Type:

y

๐Ÿง  MCP Design

This project demonstrates:

  • Structured tool calls
  • Separation of generation and execution
  • Human approval before tool execution

โ— Notes

  • No emails are sent automatically (draft only)
  • Google Doc must have edit access
  • Token is stored locally
