Can I limit what agents can do in Google Photos?

Yes, twice over. The connection itself has an access level (Read-only, Read + upload), and on top of that you can allow, scope, or deny each individual agent from the Integrations page.

Can I connect more than one Google Photos account?

Yes. Connect additional accounts from the same card and mark one as primary; agents use the primary unless a mission names a specific account.

How do I disconnect Google Photos?

Open Integrations, choose the account under Google Photos, and revoke it. Agents lose access immediately; nothing keeps working in the background.

Access levels: Read-only · Read + upload · Verified July 15, 2026

Connect Google Photos once and every agent in your squad can work in it for you, with exactly as much access as you decide to give, and a receipt for every call it makes.

What your squad can do in Google Photos

Look things up, batch get media items; get album; get media item download, and more.
Do real work, add enrichment; batch add media items; batch create media items; create album, and more.
Run it on a schedule: any of the 14 available tools below can be part of a scheduled task or a mission.

How to connect

In your dashboard, open Integrations and find Google Photos.
Click Connect and pick an access level (we recommend Read + upload): this is the ceiling for every agent.
Sign in to Google Photos in the window that opens and approve. You land back on the Integrations page with the account live.

You can change an account's access level any time under Manage. It applies instantly, no re-authorization. If the connection ever expires, the card shows Reconnect; one click re-authorizes the same account with the same settings.

Multiple accounts: connect as many as you need (say, yours and a client's). One is primary. Agents use it unless a mission says otherwise.

Access levels

The level you pick at connect time is enforced on our side for every agent call: an agent can never do more than the level allows, no matter what it's asked.

Level	What it allows
Read-only	View your photos and albums.
Read + upload	View photos and upload new ones.	Recommended

On top of the connection's level, every agent can be individually allowed, scoped down, or denied for this app from the Integrations page. Deny an agent and it doesn't even see the connection.

Every tool, in plain terms

The 14 tools agents use in Google Photos through Mission Control, and the lowest access level that includes each. Agents discover these themselves. You never have to name a tool; asking in plain language is enough.

What agents can't do in Google Photos (yet)

Anything not in the table above. The tools mirror what Google Photos makes available to connected apps. If Google Photos doesn't expose an operation, agents can't perform it either.
If something you need is missing, there's usually a path: add the service's API key under Settings → Custom integrations and your agents can call it directly. See custom integrations & secrets. You can also ask your lead agent to open a ticket describing what it needs.

Using it in missions

Just ask in plain language: “check Google Photos for …”, “create … in Google Photos”, “every Monday, … ”, and the agent finds the right tool, runs it, and reports back with a receipt in your Runs ledger. Anything outward-facing (sending, posting, publishing) that a mission didn't clearly authorize comes back to you as a ticket first.

Troubleshooting

Agent says	What's happening	Fix
"Google Photos isn't connected"	No active connection (or this agent is denied)	Connect on the Integrations page; check the agent's per-app policy
"The connection has expired"	Google Photos ended the authorization (they all do periodically)	Click Reconnect on the account, same settings, one click
"I'm not allowed to do that"	The action is above the account's access level, or the agent is scoped down	Raise the level under Manage, or adjust that agent's policy
It did something unexpected	The ask was ambiguous (e.g. matched an existing item)	Be explicit, "create a NEW …", and give agents a working folder where relevant
