RISK

Why read_sheet is rated Low

This tool retrieves data from a spreadsheet without creating, modifying, or deleting anything. It is a classic read-only query operation. Severity is low because data retrieval alone poses minimal risk unless the spreadsheet contains highly sensitive financial or personal data, but the tool itself performs no destructive or state-changing actions.

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'read_sheet' and description states 'Read data from a Google Spreadsheet.' The verb 'read' and 'read data' clearly indicate a retrieval operation with no modification or side effects.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs read_sheet safely

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

read_sheet Allowed

read_sheet is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

View as policy code

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "read_sheet": {}
  }
}

ALLOW ONLY THIS TOOL → Instant setup, no code required.

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