MCP server for Google NotebookLM — 32 tools for notebooks, sources, research, and studio content generation
01Tools · 32
How to read this: tool names here are observed from a live tools/list handshake. The Risk label is a heuristic inferred from the tool name (write/destructive verbs), not from executing the tool — a conservative guess, not a verified capability. We never escalate risk from a description. Found one that's wrong? Tell us — we fix on report.
