Why GOOGLESUPER_CREATE_DRIVE is rated Medium
Creating a new shared drive modifies the organizational structure and creates new data storage, but this is reversible (the drive can be deleted). This is not a Read operation (it has side effects), not Execute (it doesn't run arbitrary code or depend heavily on dynamic arguments), not Destructive (creation is reversible), not Financial.
From the tool's definition Tool description states it "create[s] a new shared drive" which is a reversible creation operation. The word "create" and the ability to programmatically provision new shared storage infrastructure indicates a Write action.

The rule that runs GOOGLESUPER_CREATE_DRIVE 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_CREATE_DRIVE, this is the rule to start with:
GOOGLESUPER_CREATE_DRIVE 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_CREATE_DRIVE call is checked against it from then on.
