WHAT IT DOES

What autoResizeRows does on Google Drive

AI agents use autoResizeRows 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
`endRow`	number	Yes	0-based end row index (exclusive); must be greater than startRow
`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.
`startRow`	number	Yes	0-based start row index (inclusive)
`spreadsheetId`	string	Yes	Spreadsheet ID

Parameters from the server's own tool schema.

RISK

Why autoResizeRows is rated Medium

This tool creates or modifies data reversibly — it adjusts row heights but does not delete, destroy, execute arbitrary code, or move money. The operation can be undone (rows can be manually resized again), making it a Write action rather than Destructive. The blast radius is low since it only affects row formatting, not data integrity or critical operations.

From the tool's definition Tool modifies row dimensions in a Google Sheet by auto-sizing them to fit content. The description states it will 'auto-size one or more rows', which is a formatting modification operation that changes the spreadsheet structure reversibly.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs autoResizeRows 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 autoResizeRows, this is the rule to start with:

autoResizeRows Rate-limited

autoResizeRows 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.

View as policy code

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "autoResizeRows": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "autoresizerows_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

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 autoResizeRows call is checked against it from then on.
