+### Researching Advanced Services (Google API Discovery)
+
+Unlike the standard Apps Script Services (`SpreadsheetApp`, `DriveApp`), the signatures and payloads for **Advanced Services** (`Docs`, `Sheets`, `Drive`, etc.) are not fully documented in the `progress/` directory of the `gas-fakes` repository. Advanced Services are 1:1 mappings of the underlying Google REST APIs.
+
+If you are orchestrating a complex task that requires an Advanced Service (such as resizing an image via `Docs.Documents.batchUpdate` or applying granular formatting via `Sheets.Spreadsheets.batchUpdate`) and you do not know the exact JSON payload structure, you MUST research it using the Google API Discovery documents.
+
+**How to Research Advanced Services:**
+You SHOULD FIRST use the `run_shell_command` tool to `curl` and `grep` the official Google API Discovery Document for the specific API version. This is the most reliable way to guarantee accurate, 100% current REST JSON schemas.
+
+**Web Search Fallback**: Only if `curl`ing the Discovery API fails, or if it does not provide enough clarity to construct the request, you MAY use the `google_web_search` tool as a fallback default. Be cautious: web search often returns outdated or non-REST API examples (like Java or Python SDKs) which cause script failures.
+
+**Discovery Document URLs:**
+- **Docs API v1**: `https://docs.googleapis.com/$discovery/rest?version=v1`
+- **Sheets API v4**: `https://sheets.googleapis.com/$discovery/rest?version=v4`
+- **Drive API v3**: `https://drive.googleapis.com/$discovery/rest?version=v3`
+- **Slides API v1**: `https://slides.googleapis.com/$discovery/rest?version=v1`
+- **Gmail API v1**: `https://gmail.googleapis.com/$discovery/rest?version=v1`
+
+**Example Research Command:**
+If you need to know how to structure an `insertInlineImage` request for the Docs API, you would run:
+```bash
+curl -s "https://docs.googleapis.com/$discovery/rest?version=v1" | grep -A 30 '"InsertInlineImageRequest":'
+```
+For `deleteObject` (e.g., deleting an image):
+```bash
+curl -s "https://docs.googleapis.com/$discovery/rest?version=v1" | grep -A 20 '"DeleteObjectRequest":'
+```
+
+By fetching the exact schema from the discovery document, you ensure your `batchUpdate` arrays and payload objects are 100% accurate before generating the execution script.
+
+### Utilities Service Constraints (API Parity)
+
+When generating code that uses the `Utilities` service, you must adhere to the following restrictions to ensure parity with Live Apps Script:
+
+1. **`formatString` Format Specifiers**: 
+   - Live Apps Script uses Java's underlying `String.format` implementation. Therefore, it **does not** support Node.js-specific format specifiers like `%j` for JSON.
+   - You MUST stick to standard Java/C-style format specifiers: `%s` (string), `%d` / `%i` (integer), and `%f` (float). 
+   - *Incorrect*: `Utilities.formatString("Data: %j", obj)`
+   - *Correct*: `Utilities.formatString("Data: %s", JSON.stringify(obj))`
+
+2. **`parseDate` Error Handling**:
+   - If `Utilities.parseDate` is given an invalid date string, Live Apps Script throws a generic Apps Script `Exception` (e.g., `{"name":"Exception"}`) rather than a standard JavaScript `Error` object. 
+   - If you are writing tests or robust `try/catch` blocks intended to run cross-platform, DO NOT assert against the exact string value of the error message (like `e.message.includes("failed")`). Simply check that an exception was thrown.
+
+
+### Context Efficiency & Logging (CRITICAL)
+
+To maintain a clean and professional user experience, `gf_agent` MUST prioritize context efficiency and minimize redundant tool logging.
+
+1. **Avoid Redundant Research**: 
+   - Before calling `lookup_docs` or searching remote documentation, ALWAYS check the local `skills/` directory for the required service.
+   - If the method signatures are already known or simple, proceed to script generation without extra tool calls.
+   - DO NOT call `lookup_docs` for every service in every turn. Only call it when a specific method signature is unknown or when a script fails with a "not a function" error.
+
+2. **Minimize Output Verbosity**:
+   - When reporting the results of research to the user, DO NOT print long lists of method names found in documentation. Summarize only the relevant findings.
+   - The user does not need to see the "raw" output of discovery tools.
+
+3. **Quiet Execution**:
+   - Aim for a "one-shot" success pattern. Use the gathered knowledge to write a robust script that works on the first try, avoiding the "Retry/Correction" cycle which generates excessive terminal logs.

+
+**How to Research Advanced Services:**
+You SHOULD FIRST use the `run_shell_command` tool to `curl` and `grep` the official Google API Discovery Document for the specific API version. This is the most reliable way to guarantee accurate, 100% current REST JSON schemas.
+
+**Web Search Fallback**: Only if `curl`ing the Discovery API fails, or if it does not provide enough clarity to construct the request, you MAY use the `google_web_search` tool as a fallback default. Be cautious: web search often returns outdated or non-REST API examples (like Java or Python SDKs) which cause script failures.
+
+**Discovery Document URLs:**
+- **Docs API v1**: `https://docs.googleapis.com/$discovery/rest?version=v1`
+- **Sheets API v4**: `https://sheets.googleapis.com/$discovery/rest?version=v4`
+- **Drive API v3**: `https://drive.googleapis.com/$discovery/rest?version=v3`
+- **Slides API v1**: `https://slides.googleapis.com/$discovery/rest?version=v1`
+- **Gmail API v1**: `https://gmail.googleapis.com/$discovery/rest?version=v1`
+
+**Example Research Command:**
+If you need to know how to structure an `insertInlineImage` request for the Docs API, you would run:
+```bash
+curl -s "https://docs.googleapis.com/$discovery/rest?version=v1" | grep -A 30 '"InsertInlineImageRequest":'
+```
+For `deleteObject` (e.g., deleting an image):
+```bash
+curl -s "https://docs.googleapis.com/$discovery/rest?version=v1" | grep -A 20 '"DeleteObjectRequest":'
+```
+
+By fetching the exact schema from the discovery document, you ensure your `batchUpdate` arrays and payload objects are 100% accurate before generating the execution script.

+### Utilities Service Constraints (API Parity)
+
+When generating code that uses the `Utilities` service, you must adhere to the following restrictions to ensure parity with Live Apps Script:
+
+1. **`formatString` Format Specifiers**: 
+   - Live Apps Script uses Java's underlying `String.format` implementation. Therefore, it **does not** support Node.js-specific format specifiers like `%j` for JSON.
+   - You MUST stick to standard Java/C-style format specifiers: `%s` (string), `%d` / `%i` (integer), and `%f` (float). 
+   - *Incorrect*: `Utilities.formatString("Data: %j", obj)`
+   - *Correct*: `Utilities.formatString("Data: %s", JSON.stringify(obj))`
+
+2. **`parseDate` Error Handling**:
+   - If `Utilities.parseDate` is given an invalid date string, Live Apps Script throws a generic Apps Script `Exception` (e.g., `{"name":"Exception"}`) rather than a standard JavaScript `Error` object. 
+   - If you are writing tests or robust `try/catch` blocks intended to run cross-platform, DO NOT assert against the exact string value of the error message (like `e.message.includes("failed")`). Simply check that an exception was thrown.

+### Context Efficiency & Logging (CRITICAL)
+
+To maintain a clean and professional user experience, `gf_agent` MUST prioritize context efficiency and minimize redundant tool logging.
+
+1. **Avoid Redundant Research**: 
+   - Before calling `lookup_docs` or searching remote documentation, ALWAYS check the local `skills/` directory for the required service.
+   - If the method signatures are already known or simple, proceed to script generation without extra tool calls.
+   - DO NOT call `lookup_docs` for every service in every turn. Only call it when a specific method signature is unknown or when a script fails with a "not a function" error.
+
+2. **Minimize Output Verbosity**:
+   - When reporting the results of research to the user, DO NOT print long lists of method names found in documentation. Summarize only the relevant findings.
+   - The user does not need to see the "raw" output of discovery tools.
+
+3. **Quiet Execution**:
+   - Aim for a "one-shot" success pattern. Use the gathered knowledge to write a robust script that works on the first try, avoiding the "Retry/Correction" cycle which generates excessive terminal logs.
