WHAT IT DOES

What gmail_list_attachments does on ScopeGate

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

RISK

Why gmail_list_attachments is rated Low

Even though gmail_list_attachments only reads data, uncontrolled read access leaks sensitive information and racks up API costs: an agent caught in a retry loop can make thousands of calls a minute without anyone noticing.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs gmail_list_attachments 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 gmail_list_attachments, this is the rule to start with:

gmail_list_attachments Allowed

gmail_list_attachments is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  }
}

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