Fetch Bonsai space details when a brief is complete
Once the brief is filled in, bring back the space metadata needed for the next step.
Trigger
Document Placeholder Filled
Triggers when a Google Doc's plain text changes such that a configured placeholder token/pattern is no longer present (i.e., the document has been filled in). This trigger monitors a specific Google Doc and fires when a placeholder pattern that was previously present is no longer found in the document's plain text.
Action
Retrieve Space Details
Tool to retrieve details for a single space by its path. use when you need metadata for a space before provisioning a cluster. use after confirming this detail exists. e.g., 'omc/bonsai/us-east-1/common'.
Why this helps
Completed briefs still require a separate manual lookup before technical work can begin.
- Turns document completion into a useful handoff
- Keeps space metadata close to the finished brief
- Reduces setup delay

Questions about this workflow
What counts as a filled document?
The trigger fires when a configured placeholder pattern is no longer present in the monitored document.
Can it fill the missing path itself?
