- Send this prompt to your agent. Click the card to copy it.
It works the same in OpenClaw, Hermes, Claude and Codex.
How does the agent do it?
The agent makes 2 calls through ClawLink. You do not pick the tools: the agent finds them by searching ClawLink, reads their input schema and runs them.
| Step | Tool | What it does | Calls in 30 days |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | googledocs_search_documents | Finds documents by name or by last edit. | 40 (100.0% ok) |
| 2 | googledocs_get_document_by_id | Reads one document's full text. | 92 (96.7% ok) |
How often does this work on ClawLink?
We do not publish a sample run for this job: its output is somebody's own Google Docs. Instead, here is how the same tools performed for every ClawLink user from 2026-09-03 to 2026-10-03. A call counts as failed only when it reached Google Docs and came back with an error.
| Tool | Calls | Users | Succeeded | Average time |
|---|---|---|---|---|
googledocs_search_documents | 40 | 11 | 100.0% | 1.8 s |
googledocs_get_document_by_id | 92 | 10 | 96.7% | 2.2 s |
How do you write the prompt?
- Name the doc if you know it. "The doc called Q4 plan" skips the guesswork.
- Ask for decisions and open questions. Better than a generic summary for meeting prep.
- Ask for quotes. "With the line you base each point on" lets you check the summary.
What can go wrong?
- Very long docs. A 100-page doc is a lot of text for one reply. Ask for a section.
- Comments are separate. Suggestions and comments are not in the document body.
- Shared with you vs owned. "My most recent doc" may mean one shared with you. Say which.
How does this compare with other ways to do it?
| Option | How it works | Cost | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| ClawLink + your agent | One prompt, five bullets | 2 tool calls on your plan | Catching up in your agent |
| Gemini in Google Docs | Summarize inside Docs | Some Workspace plans | Working inside Docs |
| Read it | By hand | Free | Short docs |
