POLICY

How to control Google Workspace Gmail (gws CLI)

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Google Workspace Gmail (gws CLI), and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. These are the rules we recommend:

Deny destructive operations
{
  "gmail_users_drafts_delete": {
    "deny_if": [
      {
        "conditions": [],
        "on_deny": "Blocked by default. Requires approval."
      }
    ]
  }
}

Destructive tools should never be available to autonomous agents without human approval.

Rate limit write operations
{
  "gmail_users_drafts_create": {
    "limits": [
      {
        "counter": "gmail_users_drafts_create_per_hour",
        "window": "hour",
        "max": 30,
        "scope": "grant"
      }
    ]
  }
}

Prevents bulk unintended modifications from agents caught in loops.

Cap read operations
{
  "gmail_users_drafts_get": {
    "limits": [
      {
        "counter": "gmail_users_drafts_get_per_minute",
        "window": "minute",
        "max": 60,
        "scope": "grant"
      }
    ]
  }
}

Controls API costs and prevents retry loops from exhausting upstream rate limits.

  1. Create a free account and register Google Workspace Gmail (gws CLI) — nothing to install.
  2. Add these rules — paste them, or build them visually. Tune the limits to your setup.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.

Yes. The Google Workspace Gmail (gws CLI) server exposes 12 destructive tools including gmail_users_drafts_delete, gmail_users_labels_delete, gmail_users_messages_batchDelete. These permanently remove resources with no undo. PolicyLayer blocks destructive tools by default so they never reach the upstream server.

How do I prevent bulk modifications through Google Workspace Gmail (gws CLI)? +

The Google Workspace Gmail (gws CLI) server has 36 write tools including gmail_users_drafts_create, gmail_users_drafts_send, gmail_users_drafts_update. Set a rate limit in your policy -- for example, 10 calls per hour prevents an agent from making more than 10 modifications per hour. PolicyLayer enforces this at the gateway, before calls reach Google Workspace Gmail (gws CLI).

How many tools does the Google Workspace Gmail (gws CLI) MCP server expose? +

79 tools across 4 categories: Destructive, Execute, Read, Write. 30 are read-only. 49 can modify, create, or delete data.

How do I enforce a policy on Google Workspace Gmail (gws CLI)? +

Register the Google Workspace Gmail (gws CLI) MCP server in PolicyLayer, apply the suggested rules above (adjust the limits to your use case), and point your AI client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL instead of the server directly. Your agents keep the same tools; PolicyLayer evaluates every call against policy before it executes. Nothing to install, live in minutes.

Enforce policy on every Google Workspace Gmail (gws CLI) tool call.

Deterministic rules across all 79 Google Workspace Gmail (gws CLI) tools. Per-identity grants. Full audit log. Live in minutes. Nothing to install.
