WHAT IT DOES

What add_rows does on Mcp Google Docs

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

RISK

Why add_rows is rated Medium

Adding rows is a reversible modification that creates new structure in a spreadsheet without deleting data or executing arbitrary code. It fits the Write category (creates or modifies data reversibly). Severity is medium because misuse could lead to spreadsheet bloat or corruption of data organization, but the effects are reversible through undo or deletion of the added rows.

From the tool's definition Tool description explicitly states 'Add rows to a sheet in a google sheets spreadsheet' - this is a create/modify operation that adds data structure to an existing spreadsheet.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs add_rows safely

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

add_rows Rate-limited

add_rows 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.

}

LIMIT THIS TOOL → Instant setup, no code required.

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