Creates a new file or folder with metadata. use to create empty files or folders, or files with content by providing it in the request body (though this action primarily focuses on metadata creation).
Part of the Google Drive MCP server. Enforce policies on this tool with Intercept, the open-source MCP proxy.
AI agents use GOOGLEDRIVE_CREATE_FILE to create or modify resources in Google Drive. Write operations carry medium risk because an autonomous agent could trigger bulk unintended modifications. Rate limits prevent a single agent session from making hundreds of changes in rapid succession. Argument validation ensures the agent passes expected values.
Without a policy, an AI agent could call GOOGLEDRIVE_CREATE_FILE repeatedly, creating or modifying resources faster than any human could review. Intercept's rate limiting ensures write operations happen at a controlled pace, and argument validation catches malformed or unexpected inputs before they reach Google Drive.
Write tools can modify data. A rate limit prevents runaway bulk operations from AI agents.

Creates a new file or folder with metadata. use to create empty files or folders, or files with content by providing it in the request body (though this action primarily focuses on metadata creation).. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Google Drive MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
Add a rule in your Intercept YAML policy under the tools section for GOOGLEDRIVE_CREATE_FILE. You can allow, deny, rate-limit, or validate arguments. Then run Intercept as a proxy in front of the Google Drive MCP server.
GOOGLEDRIVE_CREATE_FILE is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the GOOGLEDRIVE_CREATE_FILE rule in your Intercept policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.
Set action: deny in the Intercept policy for GOOGLEDRIVE_CREATE_FILE. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.
GOOGLEDRIVE_CREATE_FILE is provided by the Google Drive MCP server (@modelcontextprotocol/server-gdrive). Intercept sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
