## Why GOOGLESUPER_GET_FILE_METADATA is rated Low

This tool only retrieves metadata (properties, timestamps, ownership, etc.) about an existing file without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing anything. It is a pure read operation with minimal blast radius even if misused by an AI agent, as it cannot alter state or trigger external actions.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool description states 'get a file's metadata by ID' and 'retrieve the metadata for a specific file in Google Drive' — these are query/retrieval operations with no modification or side effects."

## Use case

AI agents call GOOGLESUPER_GET_FILE_METADATA to retrieve information from Google Super without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)
