Reported issues for gws-connector

Pod holds 7 of 7 problems reported by people outside the maintainer team. Issues filed by the project's own owners, members and collaborators are excluded entirely — a maintainer's release checklist is not a warning to a prospective user.

Most discussed

Deferred surface gaps: Gmail forward/attachments, Slides (gated on demand)

Purpose

Tracking issue for surface gaps that are deliberately deferred — real vs. broad single-account servers, but not aligned with gws-connector's multi-account/local focus and not yet requested. Do not implement pre-emptively; ship only if users ask (👍 / comments here signal demand).

Deferred items

Gmail: forward + attachment handling

• gws.mail.forward — today a forward can be approximated via create_draft with threadId; a first-class forward (carrying the original

Sheets: add append + clear

Gap

gws.sheets.* has read_range, write_range, create, list_tabs but lacks append (add rows without computing the next empty range) and clear (empty a range). Append in particular is a common, awkward-to-emulate operation. No new scope — existing spreadsheets scope covers both.

Proposed tools

• gws.sheets.append — spreadsheet_id (required), range (required, the table/range to append after), values (2D array, required), value_input_option (RAW|`USER_E

Add Contacts/People API (search + directory)

Gap

No Contacts / People API support. This pairs naturally with the multi-account email story: resolve a name → address, disambiguate recipients per account, and (for Workspace accounts) search the org directory. Comparable servers expose 7 Contacts tools.

Proposed tools (read-only to start)

• gws.contacts.search — query (required), maxResults, account. Wraps People.SearchContacts (returns name, emails, phones). Read-only.
• gws.contacts.directory_search — query

Add Google Tasks support (list/create/complete)

Gap

No Google Tasks support. Frequently requested, small API, and pairs well with the assistant workflow ("add a task", "what's on my list"). Comparable servers expose it (DataToRag/gws-mcp has 6 Tasks tools).

Proposed tools (start minimal)

• gws.tasks.list_tasklists — account. Read-only.
• gws.tasks.list — tasklist (default @default), showCompleted (bool), account. Read-only.
• gws.tasks.create — title (required), notes, due (RFC3339), tasklist, `a

Calendar: add update_event + delete_event (reschedule/cancel)

Gap

gws.cal.* can list/get/create events but cannot update or delete them — you can't reschedule or cancel a meeting today. This is a genuine functional hole vs comparable Google Workspace MCP servers (e.g. DataToRag/gws-mcp has update/delete/free-busy). No new OAuth scope needed — the existing calendar scope already grants write.

Proposed tools

• gws.cal.update_event — params: eventId (required), calendarId (default primary), plus optional summary, start, `end

MCP server disconnects during interactive OAuth flows (add-account/reauth)

Summary

The gws.accounts.add and gws.accounts.reauth tools block the MCP stdio transport for up to 5 minutes while waiting for the OAuth browser callback (see internal/auth/oauth.go:143). This can cause the MCP client (e.g. Claude Code) to time out the tool call, mark the server unresponsive, and disconnect it — after which no gws.* tools are available for the rest of the session.

Repro

1. Run /gws:reauth and complete the browser flow successfully.
2. Run /gws:reauth a secon

Add native Google Sheets & Docs API support (read/write)

Summary

Currently, Sheets and Docs content can be read via the Drive export API (gws_drive_read_file), which exports Docs as plain text and Sheets as CSV. However, there is no support for native Sheets or Docs API operations — specifically structured read/write capabilities.

Motivation

The Google Workspace CLI offers native Sheets and Docs commands as part of its 100+ tool surface. Adding native API support would close the biggest feat
