RISK

Why GOOGLESUPER_ADD_FILE_SHARING_PREFERENCE is rated Medium

This tool modifies access control lists (ACLs) for Google Drive files by changing sharing permissions. While not destructive (the file itself remains intact), it is a reversible write operation that alters metadata and security posture. The ability to grant roles to 'anyone' represents a significant blast radius if misused—an AI agent could inadvertently expose sensitive files to the public or unauthorized parties.

From the tool's definition Tool description states it 'Modifies sharing permissions for an existing Google Drive file, granting a specified role to a user, group, domain, or anyone'. The word 'Modifies' and 'granting' indicate data modification rather than mere retrieval.
