## Props

| Prop | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| `filePath` | `string` | Yes | A file URL, or a path to a file in the /tmp directory (e.g. /tmp/data.csv). Supported formats: CSV (.csv) and Excel (.xlsx); a URL with no extension is treated as CSV. |

| `sheetName` | `string` | Yes | Name for the imported sheet. Must use ASCII characters. |
| `headerRowIndex` | `integer` | No | Zero-based index of the row to use as column headers. Defaults to 0, the first row. |
| `workspaceId` | `string` | No | Import into this workspace (e.g. 1234567890123456). Provide either Workspace ID or Folder ID (at least one is required). Use List Workspace Options to find workspace IDs. |
| `folderId` | `string` | No | Import into this folder (e.g. 9876543210987654). Provide either Workspace ID or Folder ID (at least one is required). Use List Folder Options with a workspace ID to find folder IDs. |

## Run it

  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"),

    },
  },
)

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: "smartsheet-import-sheet",
  arguments: {
    filePath: "File Path or URL",
    syncDir: "SyncDir",
  },
})
