WHAT IT DOES

What gws_raw does on AirMCP

AI agents invoke gws_raw to trigger actions in AirMCP. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call: builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.

RISK

Why gws_raw is rated High

This tool allows execution of arbitrary Google Workspace CLI commands, giving an AI agent the ability to run any command supported by the gws CLI without apparent restrictions. This is Execute-category because it triggers external operations (CLI commands) whose effects depend on arguments.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'gws_raw' with description 'Execute any Google Workspace CLI command' indicates direct execution of arbitrary CLI commands.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs gws_raw safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and AirMCP, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For gws_raw, this is the rule to start with:

gws_raw Rate-limited

gws_raw stays usable, but rate-capped: a runaway agent can't fire it dozens of times a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect AirMCP, apply this rule, and every gws_raw call is checked against it from then on.

Can I rate-limit gws_raw? +
