WHAT IT DOES

What gws_sheets_write does on AirMCP

AI agents use gws_sheets_write to create or update resources in AirMCP, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your AirMCP environment.

RISK

Why gws_sheets_write is rated Medium

This tool creates or modifies data in Google Sheets in a reversible manner. It does not delete data (which would be Destructive) or execute arbitrary code (which would be Execute). The severity is medium because misuse could overwrite important spreadsheet data, but the scope is limited to a single range and the action is reversible via undo/version history.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'gws_sheets_write' and description 'Write values to a Google Sheets range' explicitly indicate data modification capability.
