Google Drive connector can create sheets but not edit cells

At a glance

MarsHomestead's Grok Bot built a Google Sheets tracker, then could not update existing cells, so it rebuilt the whole sheet and left duplicate copies. This workflow is listed under connectors, google-sheets, agent-limits, credits, tooling.

What they did

Their Grok Bot created a tracker in Google Drive. When asked to add more info, the Google Drive connector only allowed create, read, copy, rename, or trash, not cell edits, so the bot rebuilt the sheet from scratch.

How it went

They ended up with two copies and burned credits on repeated rebuild work.

Worth knowing

They framed it as a missing connector capability rather than a bot failure, and asked for cell-update support so bots do not redo finished sheets.
