Questions about this workflow
Does this workflow generate reports?

Get Carbone Server Status
Tool to retrieve the current status and health of the carbone server. use before generating reports to ensure the service is operational.
File Shared (Permissions Added)
Triggers when new sharing permissions are granted to a file or folder. Uses Drive's `changes.list` endpoint with inline `permissions` in the `fields` mask so each change carries the file's current permission set provider-atomically. We diff that against `seen_permission_keys` to identify newly added grants. Drive page tokens are the primary cursor; if Drive rejects a stored token, the trigger raises `PollingTriggerError` without clearing state rather than silently re-baselining and dropping events. Limitation: truly ephemeral permissions (added and revoked between two polls without any other file modification in between) are not detected. Drive Activity API would catch those but requires an additional OAuth scope and a different payload contract.
Set Carbone API Version
Tool to set the carbone api version to be used for subsequent requests. use before rendering or managing templates to ensure correct version is applied.
File Updated
