Company-Wide Document Search
=============================
Search across personal and shared drives to find documents organization-wide.

Example scenario: A compliance officer preparing for an external audit needs to
locate policy documents across the company, regardless of which team drive
they're stored in. The structured output makes it easy to generate a report.

Key concepts:
- corpora="allDrives": Search personal Drive AND all Shared Drives you can access
- incompleteSearch: API flag when Google couldn't search all drives (agent adds notice)

Setup:
1. Create OAuth credentials at https://console.cloud.google.com (enable Google Drive API)
2. Export GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID, GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET, GOOGLE_PROJECT_ID env vars
3. pip install openai google-api-python-client google-auth-httplib2 google-auth-oauthlib
4. First run opens browser for OAuth consent, saves token.json for reuse
