Can I restrict Claude to only access specific files?

Yes, you can configure the OAuth scope to 'drive.file', which limits access to only files created by the application, or specify a unique 'folder_id' as the root.

Is rclone required to use this Google Drive skill?

Yes, rclone is a critical dependency. It acts as the backend engine for all Google Drive operations and handles the complex OAuth2 authentication flow.

What happens when the OAuth token expires?

Rclone automatically handles token refreshing in the background. If the connection breaks, you can manually re-authenticate using the 'rclone config reconnect' command.

Does this skill support viewing file content without downloading?

Yes, the 'read' operation allows the agent to stream file contents directly, which is more efficient for inspecting code or text files stored in the cloud.

How are my Google Drive credentials secured?

The skill uses environment variables for OAuth Client IDs and Secrets. It strictly prohibits logging tokens or committing secrets to version control, following security best practices.
