audit_shortcuts
AI agents call audit_shortcuts 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 'audit_' prefix is consistent with all sibling tools on this server (audit_all_permissions, audit_external_permissions, audit_file_counts, etc.), which are all read/query operations that retrieve or report data. By analogy, 'audit_shortcuts' likely reads/lists shortcut data in Google Drive or Workspace. However, since the description is empty, confidence is reduced.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'audit_shortcuts' and server context of Google Workspace administration via GAM7; description is empty and uninformative.

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the audit_shortcuts 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.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for audit_shortcuts. 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.
audit_shortcuts is provided by the GAM MCP Server MCP server (ktibbs9417/gamcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
