What create_doc does on VaultAssist
AI agents use create_doc to create or update resources in VaultAssist, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your VaultAssist environment.
Why create_doc is rated Medium
The tool creates new data (a Google Doc) in a user's Google Drive, which is a reversible write operation. It does not delete, execute code, move money, or perform irreversible actions. The severity is medium because creating documents could consume storage quota or be used to clutter a workspace, but the impact is limited in scope and reversible through deletion.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'create_doc' and description 'Create a new Google Doc and optionally insert initial content' indicate document creation, which modifies state by adding new data to Google Drive.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs create_doc safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and VaultAssist, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For create_doc, this is the rule to start with:
create_doc 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.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect VaultAssist, apply this rule, and every create_doc call is checked against it from then on.
