Part of the Google Workspace Chat (gws CLI) MCP server. Enforce policies on this tool with Intercept, the open-source MCP proxy.
AI agents call chat_spaces_members_list to retrieve information from Google Workspace Chat (gws CLI) without modifying any data. This is common in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows where the agent needs context before taking action. Because read operations don't change state, they are generally safe to allow without restrictions -- but you may still want rate limits to control API costs.
Even though chat_spaces_members_list only reads data, uncontrolled read access can leak sensitive information or rack up API costs. An agent caught in a retry loop could make thousands of calls per minute. A rate limit gives you a safety net without blocking legitimate use.
Read-only tools are safe to allow by default. No rate limit needed unless you want to control costs.

Agents calling read-class tools like chat_spaces_members_list have been implicated in these attack patterns. Read the full case and prevention policy for each:
Other tools in the Read risk category across the catalogue. The same policy patterns (rate-limit, allow) apply to each.
List members of a space. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Google Workspace Chat (gws CLI) MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Add a rule in your Intercept YAML policy under the tools section for chat_spaces_members_list. You can allow, deny, rate-limit, or validate arguments. Then run Intercept as a proxy in front of the Google Workspace Chat (gws CLI) MCP server.
chat_spaces_members_list is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the chat_spaces_members_list 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 chat_spaces_members_list. 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.
chat_spaces_members_list is provided by the Google Workspace Chat (gws CLI) MCP server (@gws mcp -s chat). Intercept sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
