## Description

Insert a dimension into a spreadsheet. [See the documentation](https://developers.google.com/workspace/sheets/api/reference/rest/v4/spreadsheets/request#InsertDimensionRequest)

## Props

| Prop | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| `drive` | `string` | No | Select a specific drive to search. Defaults to All Drives (My Drive and all Shared Drives you have access to) when no selection is made. To limit to your personal drive or a Shared Drive, select it from this list. Options are loaded from the connected account. |
| `sheetId` | `string` | Yes | Select a spreadsheet or provide a spreadsheet ID Options are loaded from the connected account. |
| `dimension` | `string` | Yes | The dimension to insert |
| `startIndex` | `integer` | No | The start (inclusive) of the span, or not set if unbounded |
| `endIndex` | `integer` | Yes | The end (exclusive) of the span |
| `inheritFromBefore` | `boolean` | Yes | Whether dimension properties should be extended from the dimensions before or after the newly inserted dimensions. True to inherit from the dimensions before (in which case the start index must be greater than 0), and false to inherit from the dimensions after. For example, if row index 0 has red background and row index 1 has a green background, then inserting 2 rows at index 1 can inherit either the green or red background. If inheritFromBefore is true, the two new rows will be red (because the row before the insertion point was red), whereas if inheritFromBefore is false, the two new rows will be green (because the row after the insertion point was green). |

## Run it

**MCP**

```ts
import { Client } from "@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/client/index.js"
import { StreamableHTTPClientTransport } from "@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/client/streamableHttp.js"
import { PipedreamClient } from "@pipedream/sdk"

const pd = new PipedreamClient({
  projectId: process.env.PIPEDREAM_PROJECT_ID!,
  clientId: process.env.PIPEDREAM_CLIENT_ID!,
  clientSecret: process.env.PIPEDREAM_CLIENT_SECRET!,
  projectEnvironment: "production",
})

const accessToken = await pd.rawAccessToken

const transport = new StreamableHTTPClientTransport(
  new URL("https://remote.mcp.pipedream.net/v3"),
  {
    requestInit: {
      headers: {
        Authorization: `Bearer ${accessToken}`,
        "x-pd-project-id": process.env.PIPEDREAM_PROJECT_ID!,
        "x-pd-environment": "production",
        "x-pd-external-user-id": "{external_user_id}", // any stable ID for this user in your system
        "x-pd-app-slug": "google_sheets",
      },
    },
  },
)

const mcp = new Client({ name: "my-agent", version: "1.0.0" })
await mcp.connect(transport)

const { tools } = await mcp.listTools()

// listTools() hands your model this tool's input schema, so it can
// fill the arguments itself:
const result = await mcp.callTool({
  name: "google_sheets-insert-dimension",
  arguments: {
    drive: "Drive",
    sheetId: "Spreadsheet ID",
  },
})
```

**TypeScript**

```ts
import { PipedreamClient } from "@pipedream/sdk"

  clientSecret: process.env.PIPEDREAM_CLIENT_SECRET!,
  projectEnvironment: "production",
})

const result = await pd.actions.run({
  id: "google_sheets-insert-dimension",
  externalUserId: "{external_user_id}", // any stable ID for this user in your system
  configuredProps: {
    google_sheets: { authProvisionId: "apn_xxxxxxx" },
