audit_file_counts
AI agents call audit_file_counts to retrieve information from GAM MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
The name 'audit_file_counts' strongly implies a read/query operation that counts files, consistent with other audit sibling tools that appear to retrieve and report data. However, the empty description lowers confidence. Severity is medium because in a Google Workspace admin context, even read operations can expose sensitive file metadata.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'audit_file_counts' and sibling tools like 'audit_all_permissions', 'audit_file_inventory', 'audit_owned_files' suggest read/reporting operations. Description is empty.
