WHAT IT DOES

What gcp_secrets_add_version does on GCP MCP Server

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

RISK

Why gcp_secrets_add_version is rated Medium

This tool creates/modifies secret data reversibly by adding a new version to an existing secret. While secrets are sensitive (justifying 'high' severity), the operation is Write-class because it creates new data rather than irreversibly deleting it (Destructive), executing arbitrary operations (Execute), or moving money (Financial).

From the tool's definition Tool name contains 'add_version' and description states 'Add a new version to a secret with payload data'. The action creates a new version entry in Google Cloud Secret Manager, modifying the secret resource by appending versioned data.
