Why GOOGLESUPER_GENERATE_IDS is rated Medium
This tool generates identifiers that will be used in subsequent create or copy operations, but does not itself create, modify, delete, or execute actions. It prepares metadata (IDs) for future write operations, making it a preparatory Write-category action with low severity—misuse would at worst result in wasted ID allocations, not unintended data modification or destruction.
From the tool's definition Tool description states it 'Generates a set of file IDs' and is used to 'pre-allocate IDs for new files or copies.' The term 'pre-allocate' indicates reservation of identifiers rather than actual creation or modification of data.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs GOOGLESUPER_GENERATE_IDS 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_GENERATE_IDS, this is the rule to start with:
GOOGLESUPER_GENERATE_IDS 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_GENERATE_IDS call is checked against it from then on.
