      "Excerpt": "`manage_docs` with operation `get` returns the content of the first tab only. There's no error and nothing in the response to indicate the document has other tabs, so the partial content reads like the whole file.\n\n**Steps To Reproduce**\n\n1. Create a Google Doc with several tabs and put different text in each one.\n2. Call `manage_docs` with `operation: get`, the document ID, and an authenticated account email.\n3. Compare what comes back against the document. Only the first tab is there.\n\n**Expec",

I love the concept of this MCP server, but I ran into a hard crash when trying to run it on a Windows machine.\n\nIt looks like the server assumes the PATH environment variable is separated by colons (:), which is true for macOS and Linux. However, on Windows, the PATH is separated by semicolons (;).\n\nBecause of this, when the server boots up and tries to locate the gws executable, it fails to parse the Windows path correctly and the server crashes immediately.\n\nTo Reproduce:\n\nTry",
