List message filters [read]

Part of the Google Workspace Gmail (gws CLI) MCP server. Enforce policies on this tool with Intercept, the open-source MCP proxy.

WHEN AI AGENTS USE THIS TOOL

AI agents call gmail_users_settings_filters_list to retrieve information from Google Workspace Gmail (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.

WHY ENFORCE A POLICY ON GMAIL_USERS_SETTINGS_FILTERS_LIST

Even though gmail_users_settings_filters_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.

RECOMMENDED POLICY

Read-only tools are safe to allow by default. No rate limit needed unless you want to control costs.

  gmail_users_settings_filters_list:
    rules:
      - action: allow
