How are large spreadsheets handled?

The server truncates `csv_content` to approximately 10 KB and sets `is_truncated: true` in the metadata. A `resource_uri` is provided to access the complete content via MCP resources.

What happens if I supply a non‑spreadsheet document or an invalid sheet name?

The server returns an appropriate error message for both cases.

What credentials does it need?

It reads `QUIP_TOKEN`, `QUIP_BASE_URL`, `QUIP_STORAGE_PATH`, `TEST_THREAD_ID` from the environment. Store these in your client's env block or a secrets manager — never commit them to a repository — and grant the narrowest scope that still covers your use case.
