WHAT IT DOES

What addDimensionGroup does on Google Drive

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

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
`account`	string	—	Alias of the Google account to target. Optional — defaults to the session/global default account, or the sole authenticated account. Run manage_accounts list to
`sheetId`	number	Yes	Sheet ID (from getSpreadsheetInfo / listSheets). The default first sheet is usually 0.
`endIndex`	number	Yes	0-based end index (exclusive); must be greater than startIndex
`dimension`	string	Yes	Group rows or columns
`startIndex`	number	Yes	0-based start index (inclusive)
`spreadsheetId`	string	Yes	Spreadsheet ID

Parameters from the server's own tool schema.

RISK

Why addDimensionGroup is rated Medium

An AI agent can call addDimensionGroup faster than any human can review: one bad instruction and it creates or modifies resources in Google Drive by the hundred, each call as confident as the last.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs addDimensionGroup safely

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

addDimensionGroup Rate-limited

addDimensionGroup 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.

          "max": 30,

        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

LIMIT THIS TOOL → Instant setup, no code required.

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

FAQ

Questions about addDimensionGroup

What does the addDimensionGroup tool do? +

Group a range of rows or columns in a sheet (creates a collapsible outline group). Indices are 0-based and the interval is half-open [startIndex, endIndex) — to group rows 5 through 12 as shown in the UI, pass startIndex: 4, endIndex: 12. Nest groups by adding a second group inside the range of the first. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Google Drive MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

What parameters does addDimensionGroup accept? +

addDimensionGroup accepts 6 parameters: account, sheetId, endIndex, dimension, startIndex, spreadsheetId. Required: sheetId, endIndex, dimension, startIndex, spreadsheetId. The full parameter table on this page comes from the server's own tool schema.

How do I enforce a policy on addDimensionGroup? +

Register the Google Drive MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for addDimensionGroup: 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 Google Drive. Nothing to install.

What risk level is addDimensionGroup? +

addDimensionGroup is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.

Can I rate-limit addDimensionGroup? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the addDimensionGroup 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 addDimensionGroup completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for addDimensionGroup. 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 addDimensionGroup? +

addDimensionGroup is provided by the Google Drive MCP server (@ark7/google-drive-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
