sync_library can modify Notebooklm data, with no limits today. PolicyLayer puts allow, deny, and rate-limit rules on every call. Live in minutes.

AI agents use sync_library to create or modify resources in Notebooklm. Write operations carry medium risk because an autonomous agent could trigger bulk unintended modifications. Rate limits prevent a single agent session from making hundreds of changes in rapid succession. Argument validation ensures the agent passes expected values.

Without a policy, an AI agent could call sync_library repeatedly, creating or modifying resources faster than any human could review. PolicyLayer's rate limiting ensures write operations happen at a controlled pace, and argument validation catches malformed or unexpected inputs before they reach Notebooklm.

Write tools can modify data. A rate limit prevents runaway bulk operations from AI agents.

These attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access sync_library gives an agent. Each links to the full case and the policy that stops it:

Every attack above starts with a tool call. PolicyLayer checks each one against your policy first, so sync_library only ever does what you allow.

What does the sync_library tool do? +

Sync your local library with actual NotebookLM notebooks. What This Tool Does - Navigates to NotebookLM and extracts all your notebooks - Compares with local library entries - Detects stale entries (notebooks deleted or URLs changed) - Identifies notebooks not in your library - Optionally auto-removes stale entries When To Use - Library seems out of sync with NotebookLM - After deleting notebooks in NotebookLM - To discover new notebooks to add - Before setting up automation workflows Output Returns a sync report with: - matched: Library entries that match actual notebooks - staleEntries: Library entries with no matching notebook (candidates for removal) - missingNotebooks: NotebookLM notebooks not in library (candidates for adding) - suggestions: Recommended actions Example Usage \. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Notebooklm MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

How do I enforce a policy on sync_library? +

Register the Notebooklm MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for sync_library: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Notebooklm. Nothing to install.

What risk level is sync_library? +

sync_library is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.

Can I rate-limit sync_library? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the sync_library rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.

How do I block sync_library completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for sync_library. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.

What MCP server provides sync_library? +

sync_library is provided by the Notebooklm MCP server (Pantheon-Security/notebooklm-mcp-secure). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Notebooklm tool call.
