WHAT IT DOES

What drive_move_file does on Mcp

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

`to`	string	Yes	New path
`from`	string	Yes	Current path
`drive`	string	Yes	Drive name or drv_… id

Parameters from the server's own tool schema.

RISK

Why drive_move_file is rated Medium

This tool modifies the state of files (their location and name) within a drive but does not delete or irreversibly destroy data. The action is reversible—files can be moved again or renamed back. It is Write rather than Destructive because the data itself is preserved and the operation can be undone.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'drive_move_file' and description 'Move/rename a file inside a drive' indicate modification of file metadata and location within a managed storage system.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs drive_move_file safely

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

drive_move_file Rate-limited

drive_move_file 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.
