## FAQ

### Does the server delete my emails or files?

No, nothing is deleted for good; Gmail and Drive keep items in the trash for 30 days.

### Will my emails be sent automatically?

No, mail stays in draft form until you explicitly tell the assistant to send it.

### How do I set up the server?

You can run the setup command which walks you through creating an OAuth client in a Google Cloud project and approving access.

### Can I use the server in read-only mode?

Yes, you can set the MCP_MAX_ACCESS environment variable to read to make the server read-only.
