Feature Request: Dynamic Google Drive context XML generator with ID caching to eliminate repetitive folder/file searches

[MariusWilsch]

Business need: Currently have to search for the same Google Drive folder and file IDs repeatedly throughout Claude chat conversations, which is annoying and inefficient when working on projects where relevant documents are clearly defined

Current workaround: Manually searching for folder and file IDs multiple times during conversations and recreating XML context structures each time

Success criteria:

• Tool dynamically creates XML context structures like the provided example
• IDs are cached/stored via proxy system to avoid repeated searches
• Generates properly formatted XML with folder hierarchy and file references

Priority: Medium - improves workflow efficiency for recurring document access patterns

Estimated impact: Unknown - requires technical assessment for implementation approach

Example:

Basically the high level idea here is instead of having to search those IDs over and over again throughout the chat either we need to have some sort of proxy where these IDs are stored and then maybe cached or something else because it's pretty annoying if you still have to look for the stuff over and over again and when you work with claw projects I think it's pretty clear which documents are relevant. What do you think? @taylorwilsdon

Similar to this maybe @taylorwilsdon

Since it's a relatively lightweight call, thoughts on handling this as a cache versus using batch calls like with the gmail implementation? #34 That way you'll get back the exact files with just one call each time and don't need to worry about cache mutations as your queries will presumably lead to different underlying files just about each time
