## Why get_sheet_data is rated Low

This tool retrieves/queries data from Google Sheets without side effects. It matches the 'Read' category definition: retrieves or queries data with no side effects (search, list, get, fetch). The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an AI agent could access spreadsheet contents it shouldn't, but cannot modify, delete, or execute operations.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'get_sheet_data' and description 'Get data from a sheet in a google sheets spreadsheet' indicate data retrieval only, with no modification, deletion, or execution capabilities."

## Use case

AI agents call get_sheet_data to retrieve information from Mcp Google Docs without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

Verdict: **Allowed**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches Mcp Google Docs:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "get_sheet_data": {}
  }
}
```
