MOST DANGEROUS TOOLS
Critical Risk

The most dangerous Google Connections tools

Destructive · High clear_completed_tasks This tool permanently deletes all completed tasks from a task list. Destructive · High clear_range Clearing cell contents removes data without the ability to undo through the API. Destructive · High delete_calendar_event Deletion of calendar events is an irreversible action with potential business impact. Destructive · High delete_column Deleting a column in a spreadsheet irreversibly removes all data in that column and cannot be undone through normal tool operations.

73 of Google Connections's 100 tools can modify, destroy, or commit something on every call — and an agent calls them with no built-in limits.

POLICY

How to control Google Connections

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

Deny destructive operations
{
  "clear_completed_tasks": {
    "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
{
  "add_row": {
    "limits": [
      {
        "counter": "add_row_per_hour",
        "window": "hour",
        "max": 30,
        "scope": "grant"
      }
    ]
  }
}

Prevents bulk unintended modifications from agents caught in loops.

Cap read operations
{
  "count_gmail_messages": {
    "limits": [
      {
        "counter": "count_gmail_messages_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 Connections — 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.

FAQ

Questions about Google Connections

Can an AI agent delete data through the Google Connections MCP server? +

Yes. The Google Connections server exposes 12 destructive tools including clear_completed_tasks, clear_range, delete_calendar_event. 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 Connections? +

The Google Connections server has 61 write tools including add_row, add_worksheet, append_to_doc. 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 Connections.

How many tools does the Google Connections MCP server expose? +

100 tools across 3 categories: Destructive, Read, Write. 27 are read-only. 73 can modify, create, or delete data.

How do I enforce a policy on Google Connections? +

Register the Google Connections 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 Connections tool call.

Deterministic rules across all 100 Google Connections tools. Per-identity grants. Full audit log. Live in minutes. Nothing to install.
