RISK

Why createGoogleDoc is rated Medium

This tool creates a new Google Doc, which is a reversible write operation. While it modifies the user's Google Drive by adding a new document, the action can be undone (the document can be deleted). It does not execute arbitrary code, delete data irreversibly, or move money, so it falls into the Write category.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'createGoogleDoc' and description 'Create a new Google Doc' indicate creation of a new document, which is a write operation that creates data reversibly.

RECOMMENDED RULE

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

createGoogleDoc Rate-limited

createGoogleDoc 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.

          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

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