Description
Context
When given a Google Doc URL that includes tab + heading anchors, our current Google Docs MCP/tooling can’t reliably update content under a specific heading/section.
Why this is happening (current tool limitations)
We currently only support:
read_documentinsert_text(by absolute index)replace_text(global exact match)
Because of this:
- We can’t locate/replace content under a heading safely.
read_documentoutput lacks structure (no tab/heading IDs, no section/block identifiers).
Impact
We can’t paste/update content into the “Linkedin brand voice” section in the Skills Templates doc when the doc is referenced via URL + anchors.
Expected
Be able to target a specific tab/heading/section (stable IDs), then insert/replace content scoped to that section.
Actual
Forced to ask the user for the exact block text to do a global replace_text, which is brittle and unsafe.
