MOST DANGEROUS TOOLS

Critical Risk

Destructive · High remove_notebook This tool removes/deletes a notebook, which is an irreversible operation that destroys data. Destructive · Medium reset_session Resetting a session implies destroying the current session state irreversibly. Destructive · Critical cleanup_data This tool explicitly deletes data files across 8 categories system-wide. Execute · Medium setup_auth This tool triggers an external browser action (opening a browser window) to initiate a Google OAuth authentication flow.

8 of NotebookLM MCP Structured's 15 tools can modify, destroy, or commit something on every call — and an agent calls them with no built-in limits.

HOW TO CONTROL NOTEBOOKLM MCP STRUCTURED

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

Deny destructive operations

{
  "remove_notebook": {
    "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_notebook": {
    "limits": [
      {
        "counter": "add_notebook_per_hour",
        "window": "hour",
        "max": 30,
        "scope": "grant"
      }
    ]
  }
}

Prevents bulk unintended modifications from agents caught in loops.

Cap read operations

{
  "get_health": {
    "limits": [
      {
        "counter": "get_health_per_minute",
        "window": "minute",
        "max": 60,
        "scope": "grant"
      }
    ]
  }
}

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

FAQ

Can an AI agent delete data through the NotebookLM MCP Structured MCP server? +

Yes. The NotebookLM MCP Structured server exposes 3 destructive tools including remove_notebook, reset_session, cleanup_data. 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 NotebookLM MCP Structured? +

The NotebookLM MCP Structured server has 4 write tools including add_notebook, close_session, select_notebook. 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 NotebookLM MCP Structured.

How many tools does the NotebookLM MCP Structured MCP server expose? +

15 tools across 3 categories: Destructive, Read, Write. 7 are read-only. 8 can modify, create, or delete data.

How do I enforce a policy on NotebookLM MCP Structured? +

Register the NotebookLM MCP Structured 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 NotebookLM MCP Structured tool call.

Deterministic rules across all 15 NotebookLM MCP Structured tools. Per-identity grants. Full audit log. Live in minutes. Nothing to install.
