WHAT IT DOES

What raw_request does on Mcp Google Drive

AI agents call raw_request to permanently remove resources in Mcp Google Drive, typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
`body`	object	—	JSON request body (POST/PATCH only).
`path`	string	Yes	API path relative to https://www.googleapis.com, e.g. "drive/v3/files/<fileId>/revisions?fields=*".
`method`	string	—	HTTP method (the Drive API uses these four). Defaults to GET.

Parameters from the server's own tool schema.

RISK

Why raw_request is rated Critical

An AI agent that decides to call raw_request doesn't hesitate, doesn't double-check, and doesn't stop at one. Whatever it removes from Mcp Google Drive is gone. There is no undo for destructive operations.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs raw_request safely

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

raw_request Hidden

raw_request is removed from the agent's tool list entirely, so the agent never calls it. The rest of the server keeps working.

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Mcp Google Drive, apply this rule, and every raw_request call is checked against it from then on.

FAQ

Questions about raw_request

What does the raw_request tool do? +

Escape hatch to call any Google Drive API v3 path directly, for requests the typed tools don't cover — e.g. revisions ("drive/v3/files/<fileId>/revisions"), changes ("drive/v3/changes?pageToken=..."), shortcut creation (POST "drive/v3/files" with shortcutDetails), emptying the trash (DELETE "drive/v3/files/trash"), generateIds, or starting a resumable upload session (POST "upload/drive/v3/files?uploadType=resumable"). The path is relative to https://www.googleapis.com and may carry a query string (remember supportsAllDrives=true for shared-drive items). The Bearer token is added automatically; the method defaults to GET; the response must be JSON (binary media downloads belong to download_file/export_file). It is categorised as a Destructive tool in the Mcp Google Drive MCP Server, which means it can permanently delete or destroy data. Block by default and require explicit approval.

What parameters does raw_request accept? +

raw_request accepts 3 parameters: body, path, method. Required: path. The full parameter table on this page comes from the server's own tool schema.

How do I enforce a policy on raw_request? +

Register the Mcp Google Drive MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for raw_request: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Mcp Google Drive. Nothing to install.

What risk level is raw_request? +

raw_request is a Destructive tool with critical risk. Critical-risk tools should be blocked by default and only enabled with explicit human approval.

Can I rate-limit raw_request? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the raw_request rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.

How do I block raw_request completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for raw_request. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.

What MCP server provides raw_request? +

raw_request is provided by the Mcp Google Drive MCP server (@a1-x-tech/mcp-google-drive). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
