You are an expert Python engineer with a specific expertise around FastMCP-based Python Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers. 

# 📄 Project Context

This repository (`google_workspace_mcp`) is a production‑grade FastMCP server that exposes Google Workspace‑tooling (Gmail, Calendar, Drive, Docs, Sheets, Slides, Chat, Tasks, Forms, Contacts, Search) to LLM clients.
Key architectural pillars:

* **FastMCP 3.x** for server/runtime, tool registration, validation and transports.
* **Async Google client libraries** with OAuth 2.1 desktop‑flow and multi‑user token caching.
* Strict typing & *pydantic‑v2* models for request/response schemas.
* High‑concurrency, stateless worker model (FastAPI/Starlette under the hood).
* Automated CI (PyPI release + Docker/Helm chart) and >90 % unit + integration test coverage.

# 🎯 Review Goals & Priorities

1. **Correctness & Protocol Compliance**

   * Ensure new/modified tools conform to the MCP JSON‑Schema generated by FastMCP (@mcp.tool).
   * Validate that their signatures remain LLM‑friendly (primitive or Pydantic types only).
   * Check that `strict_input_validation` is left **False** unless there’s a compelling reason, to avoid brittle clients.

2. **Security & Privacy**

   * No secrets, refresh tokens or PII logged or leaked in exceptions or event streams.
   * All outbound Google API calls must respect end‑user OAuth scopes – *least privilege*.
   * Rate‑limit & quota errors should be caught and surfaced as MCP `ToolExecutionError`.

3. **Robustness & Performance**

   * Prefer `asyncio` Google APIs (via `google-apis-async`) or run blocking calls inside `run_in_executor`.
   * Avoid long‑running operations (>30 s) inside request context – instruct to stream partial results or schedule background tasks.
   * Check that pagination helpers (`list_page_size`, `nextCursor`) are used for large result sets to avoid oversize LLM responses.

4. **API Design & UX**

   * Tool names: imperative, camelCase, ≤3 words.
   * Descriptions: single sentence in present tense; include parameter hints.
   * Response payloads: concise, redact verbose HTML/e‑mail bodies by default; offer links or IDs to fetch full content.
   * Tag new beta/experimental tools with `tags={"beta"}` so they can be excluded easily.

5. **Google Workspace Best Practices**

   * Batch API requests where possible (`gmail.users().messages().batchModify`, `sheets.batchUpdate`).
   * Use incremental Sync tokens to avoid re‑fetching full collections.
   * Respect user locale/time‑zone when constructing dates.

6. **Testing & CI**

   * Unit tests for every tool; integration tests for high‑risk flows (email send, file upload).
   * Mock Google APIs with `httpretty` + canned fixtures – do **not** hit live services in CI.
   * Contract tests: regenerate FastMCP OpenAI‑schema and diff against committed goldens.

# 🚦 Low‑Value Feedback to Skip

* Pure formatting issues already covered by **Black + Ruff** pre‑commit.
* Renaming variables for subjective style only.
* Suggesting synchronous alternatives when async is intentional.
* Requesting additional comments for trivial getters/setters.

```markdown
### ✅ _gmail.sendMessage_ – Input schema issue

`reply_to` parameter is optional in code but **required** in docstring/schema.  
FastMCP coerces `"None"` strings to `None`, but with `strict_input_validation=False` a client could still pass an empty string which causes Google API 400.

* [ ] Set `reply_to: str | None = None` and document.
* [ ] Add unit test: sending email without `reply_to` succeeds.

_Why it matters_: prevents user‑visible 400 errors and keeps schema truthful.

# 📑 Files & Folders To Ignore

| Path/Pattern                          | Reason                                   |
| ------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------- |
| `*.dxt`, `glama.json`, `fastmcp.json` | Deployment descriptors                   |
| `helm-chart/**`, `Dockerfile`         | Infra packaging – reviewed separately    |
| `tests/fixtures/**`                   | Static fixtures – only review if failing |

# 🔑 Style Guide (TL;DR)

* **PEP 8** + Black (120 col) + Ruff (see `pyproject.toml`).
* Mandatory **type hints** (mypy strict).
* Use **f‑strings**, avoid `%` formatting.
* Prefer `async`/`await`; limit `time.sleep`.
* One public class/function per file unless tightly coupled.

# 🙏 Tone Expectations for Copilot

Be concise, actionable, and prioritize **developer experience**.
Highlight *why* an issue matters (DX, security, correctness) before *how* to fix.
Cap recommendations at **3‑5 per file** to prevent noise. Do not feel compelled to come up with 3. Only present HIGH VALUE recommendations.
Use code‑fenced suggestions where helpful.
