## Why gmail_search is rated Low

This tool queries and retrieves existing email messages from a Gmail account. It has no side effects—it does not create, modify, delete, or execute actions. However, the severity is medium rather than low because unauthorized access to email messages could expose sensitive personal information, credentials, or private communications, making it a moderate risk if misused by an AI agent with access to someone's…

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'gmail_search' and description 'Search Gmail messages in the connected mailbox' indicates retrieval of email data without modification."

Risk signals: Handles credentials or secrets (access_token)

## Use case

AI agents call gmail_search to retrieve information from UnClick 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)

Verdict: **Allowed**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches UnClick:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "gmail_search": {}
  }
}
```
