What merge_table_cells does on Mcp Google Docs
AI agents use merge_table_cells 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.
Why merge_table_cells is rated Medium
Merging table cells modifies the structure and formatting of a spreadsheet or document reversibly. This is a Write operation (creates/modifies data without permanent deletion). Severity is medium because misuse could corrupt data organization or formatting, but the action is reversible. Confidence is 0.75 due to empty description, but the tool context and naming pattern strongly indicate structural modification.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'merge_table_cells' indicates modification of table structure in Google Sheets/Docs. Sibling tools like 'add_columns', 'add_rows', 'batch_update_cells' confirm this server performs data modification operations.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs merge_table_cells 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 merge_table_cells, this is the rule to start with:
merge_table_cells 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.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Mcp Google Docs, apply this rule, and every merge_table_cells call is checked against it from then on.
