WHAT IT DOES

What create-label does on MCP Google Workspace

AI agents use create-label to create or update resources in MCP Google Workspace, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your MCP Google Workspace environment.

RISK

Why create-label is rated Medium

This tool creates a new label in Gmail, which is a reversible write operation. Labels are metadata organizational constructs in Gmail that can be modified or deleted later, so this is Write (not Destructive). The impact is scoped to Gmail organization and has minimal blast radius if misused—creating unwanted labels is inconvenient but easily undone.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'create-label' and description 'Create custom label. Returns: new label with id, name, type=' clearly indicate creation of a new Gmail label.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs create-label safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and MCP Google Workspace, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For create-label, this is the rule to start with:

create-label Rate-limited

create-label stays usable, but capped: an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
