Why GOOGLESUPER_ACL_PATCH is rated Medium
This tool modifies calendar access permissions through PATCH semantics, which is a reversible write operation. It does not delete data (Destructive), execute arbitrary code (Execute), or move money (Financial).
From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Updates an access control rule for a calendar' and explicitly mentions 'partial update' and 'modifying specific fields'. The ACL (Access Control List) patch operation modifies permissions and sharing settings.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs GOOGLESUPER_ACL_PATCH safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Google Super, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For GOOGLESUPER_ACL_PATCH, this is the rule to start with:
GOOGLESUPER_ACL_PATCH 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 Google Super, apply this rule, and every GOOGLESUPER_ACL_PATCH call is checked against it from then on.
