Why GOOGLESUPER_CREATE_FILE is rated Medium
File/folder creation is a Write operation—it generates new data but is reversible via deletion. Severity is medium because creating files in shared environments (Google Drive) could consume storage quotas, clutter collaborative spaces, or be used for storing sensitive data exfiltration, but the action itself is not irreversible or destructive like deletion would be.
From the tool's definition The tool description states it "Creates a new file or folder" and "provides it in the request body". The action creates new resources with metadata, which is reversible (files can be deleted).

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