## Authentication

Google Cloud authentication: OAuth 2.0 using Application Default Credentials (ADC) in supported Google clients, or a client OAuth ID/secret or bearer token in compatible third-party clients. The principal needs mcp.tools.call plus the underlying product permissions; API key authentication is only available for services that explicitly support it.

## Tools

- **recommend_iam_roles**: This tool returns IAM role suggestions based on the intent of a user's prompt. Example prompt: 'What role do I need to read Google Cloud Storage buckets?'
