Module read 

drive docs read engine — one documents.get, flattened into an index-ordered element list per tab.

Ungated, exactly as sheets read and the rest of the Drive read surface are. ADR-0071 §11 records read-path enforcement as a known, scoped gap across the whole integration, pending a batching/caching design; this command inherits that gap rather than opting out of it, and will inherit its resolution.

There is deliberately no per-tab cap of the kind sheets read’s MAX_SHEETS_PER_READ imposes. That cap exists because a whole-workbook read fans out into N values.batchGet requests and could return a partially-fetched workbook. documents.get is exactly one request whose result is all-or-nothing, so a cap could only refuse a document already in hand; MAX_DOCUMENT_BYTES is the analogous protection and it sits at the right layer.
