Tools changed: Google Workspace MCP (taylorwilsdon)

The Google Workspace MCP server (taylorwilsdon) version 2.3.0 exposes 119 tools whose tools/list payload costs an estimated 46,166 tokens under cl100k_base, or 141% of a 32k context window and 23% of a 200k window, according to testing measured on 2026-11-11. The server scored 70/100, capped from 95 test points because no tool call passed, with install 20/20, handshake 30/30, maintenance 25/25, docs 10/15 and license 10/10; it was tested on 2026-10-31 over stdio with no authentication, an unknown rate limit and 55 read versus 64 write (state-changing) tools. The measurement matters because the tool definitions consume most of an agent's context before any message is sent, so the guidance is to load only the tools needed.
