WHAT IT DOES

What drive_create_file does on ScopeGate

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

RISK

Why drive_create_file is rated Medium

This tool creates new data in Google Drive, which is reversible (the file can be deleted later). It does not execute code, delete data irreversibly, or move money. The severity is high because an AI agent with unrestricted access could create numerous files, consume storage quota, or pollute a user's Drive with unwanted content; however, the impact is bounded by Google Drive's quotas and the reversibility of file…

From the tool's definition Tool name explicitly states "create" and description confirms it "Create a new file in Google Drive" — a write operation that modifies state in Google Drive by adding a new persistent resource.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs drive_create_file safely

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

drive_create_file Rate-limited

drive_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.
