Tools 17 found in our last check

• list_accounts

  List the Google accounts signed in to the saved session with their /u/<N>/ slot. Call first and confirm with the user which email holds their photos.

• list_media

  Page through the Google Photos library timeline, newest first: media key, taken/uploaded time, dimensions, photo or video (+duration), favorite flag and a thumbnail URL. Optional date range (after/before) and type filter. Pass next_page_token to continue.

• search_media

  Search the library the way the Google Photos search box does: free text (sunset, food, beach), a person's name from People, a place, or a thing. Returns the same item shape as list_media.

• get_media

  Full metadata for one item: filename, taken time and timezone offset, file size, dimensions, photo/video and duration, camera make/model/aperture/ISO/exposure when present, face count and named people, favorite flag, location (latitude/longitude from the file's GPS plus Google's…

• download_media

  Save the bytes of a thumbnail at any size or the original file to a local folder and return the path (plus sha256, and base64 for small files when asked). The image URLs need the signed-in cookies, so always fetch through this tool.

• list_albums

  List the user's albums (album_key, title, created), or pass album_key to list the items inside that album.

• create_album

  Create a new album with a title, optionally adding library items to it straight away.

• add_to_album

  Add library items to an existing album.

• remove_from_album

  Remove items from an album. The photos stay in the library; only the album membership changes.

• set_favorite

  Mark items as favorites (favorite=true, default) or remove the favorite (favorite=false).

• archive_media

  Archive items (they leave the main photo grid but stay in albums, search and Archive), or unarchive with archive=false.

• trash_media

  Move items to Google Photos' Trash, where they stay recoverable for 60 days. Never deletes permanently and cannot empty the Trash. Requires confirm=true; max 50 items per call. Show the user the exact items and get their yes first.

• upload_media

  Upload a local photo or video file (up to 10 GB) into the library, optionally into an album. Sent in resumable chunks, so a dropped connection resumes instead of restarting. Returns the new item. Uploading a file that is already in the library returns the existing item.

• check_session

  Check that the saved Google Photos session still works and list the signed-in accounts. Read-only: it never refreshes the session. If it reports the session expired, the user reconnects with start_browser_auth.

• start_browser_auth

  Open Google Photos sign-in only when needed. If the saved session is still valid, this tool returns success immediately and does not open the viewer. Call session_status first. Use force_reconnect only when the user explicitly wants to wipe the saved cookie and sign in again (de…

• get_network_identity

  Where this user's requests to the site leave from (a VPN country, the server, or the app's default) and which browser they present. Read-only.

• set_network_identity

  Choose where this user's requests to the site leave from and which browser they present, only when the user asks (e.g. 'connect through Nigeria', 'use my own user agent'). Sites may ask the user to sign in again when this changes. reset=true goes back to how they signed in.
