RISK

Why createDocFromHTML is rated Medium

This tool creates a new Google Doc (reversible write operation). While document creation is not destructive, it does generate new persistent data in a user's Drive. The severity is medium rather than low because an AI agent could create numerous documents, consume quota, or generate unwanted content that clutters user storage—though the action remains reversible via deletion.

From the tool's definition Tool description states it will 'Create a Google Doc from HTML content' and explicitly describes formatting conversions applied to the document structure, indicating document creation/modification.

Risk signalsAccepts raw HTML/template content (html)

RECOMMENDED RULE

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

createDocFromHTML Rate-limited

createDocFromHTML 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.

What does the createDocFromHTML tool do? +
