This guide details how to authenticate Google tools within Airia using Airia's built-in OAuth 2.0 connector. This allows your models to interact securely with your Google services.

## Supported Google Tools

Airia currently supports authentication for the following Google tools:

*   **Gmail**
*   **Google Calendar**
*   **Google Contacts**
*   **Google Docs**
*   **Google Slides**

## Add a Google Tool with Authentication

Follow these steps to add and authenticate a Google tool:

1.  **Select a Google Tool:**
    *   Navigate to the **Tools** section in your Airia dashboard.
    *   From the library, select the desired Google tool (e.g., **Gmail**, **Google Calendar**).
2.  **Configure Tool Settings:**
    *   On the tool configuration page, review the default settings.
    *   You can use the tool as is, or click the **Advanced** screen to customize its settings if needed.
3.  **Choose Authentication Method:**
    *   In the authentication fields dropdown, select **Google Authentication**.
4.  **Select Google Credential:**
    *   A credential selection page will appear. Choose **Google** as your credential provider. This will initiate the OAuth flow.
    *   Follow the on-screen prompts to authorize Airia to access your Google account.
5.  **Save and Add to Agent:**
    *   Click **Save** to add the configured tool to your library.
    *   Add the tool to an agent to begin using it.

## Verify Tool Execution

After adding the Google tool to an agent, execute the agent to verify that the tool works correctly:
