Excel & Worksheet
Full Excel control for AI agents — create workbooks, write data/formulas, build charts (12 types), pivot tables, conditional formatting, tables, protection, and professional reports. 74 tools. No Excel installation needed.
What this skill teaches
A reusable playbook for a specific kind of work.
An MCP server tells an agent which actions are available. A skill adds the judgment around those actions: how to recognize the job, which sequence to follow, what to avoid, and how to decide that the result is complete.
Orchestrate Excel/spreadsheet operations — create workbooks, read/write cells, formulas, charts (12 types), pivot tables, conditional formatting, data validation, tables, images, shapes, comments, protection, page setup, and advanced features (slicers, timelines, form controls). Use when creating spreadsheets, reading…
Architecture
How Excel & Worksheet guides an ADK-Rust agent.
The skill stays readable and portable because it contains instructions rather than service credentials or business data. ADK-Rust supplies it to the agent, the agent chooses from its reviewed tool boundary, and the connected MCP server performs the authenticated operation.
01
User request
The agent receives a goal expressed in ordinary language.
02
Excel & Worksheet skill
Matches intent, supplies the decision guide, and narrows the tool boundary.
03
ADK-Rust agent
Plans the workflow and streams each meaningful step through the runtime.
04
worksheet-mcp
Executes authenticated operations against the system that owns the capability.
05
Verified result
The skill's completion rules shape the evidence returned to the user.
Decision guide
How the agent turns a request into the right action.
These routes come directly from the skill instructions. They help the model recognize intent and select a focused tool or workflow instead of improvising across the entire capability surface.

Proven workflows
Repeatable sequences for useful outcomes.
A workflow joins several tool calls into a task the user actually recognizes. The skill explains the sequence and the intended result while ADK-Rust streams the agent's progress through the shared runtime.

The skill may use 60 documented tools.
This allowlist is declared by the skill. It keeps the agent focused on the actions needed for this job while worksheet-mcp retains responsibility for authentication, validation, and the connected system.

Working rules
What the agent should do.
- Always save_workbook after changes (data is in-memory until saved)
- Use add_table for structured data (enables filtering, totals)
- Pick chart type by data: bar (comparison), line (trend), pie (composition), scatter (correlation)
- Use autofit_columns for readability
- close_workbook when done (frees memory)
Operating boundaries
What the agent should avoid.
- Don't forget to save (changes lost on close)
- Don't use pie charts for 6 categories
- Don't leave raw data without formatting (hard to read)
- Don't write formulas with hardcoded values (use cell references)
Install and connect
Add the skill beside the capability it expects.
Install the repository where your ADK-Rust skill loader can discover it, connect worksheet-mcp, and confirm the declared tools are available before asking the agent to use the workflow.
