Retrieve the content of a specific Google Drive file by ID
AI agents call get_drive_file_content to retrieve information from VaultAssist without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves/queries data from Google Drive without modifying, deleting, or executing anything. It is a straightforward read operation. Severity is low because retrieval alone poses minimal risk; the blast radius depends entirely on what data exists in the file, not on the tool's capability. Confidence is high due to clear, unambiguous intent in both name and description.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_drive_file_content' and description 'Retrieve the content of a specific Google Drive file by ID' explicitly indicate a retrieval operation with no side effects.

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and VaultAssist, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for get_drive_file_content:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"get_drive_file_content": {}
}
}get_drive_file_content is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

get_drive_file_content is provided by the VaultAssist MCP server (3xcaffeine/mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
Start from VaultAssist, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
