Identifies a Workspace entity (user, group, alias, etc.) by its email or ID.
AI agents call identify_workspace_entity 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.
This tool only retrieves/looks up identity information about a Workspace entity. It has no side effects, does not modify data, and is purely a query/lookup operation. Low severity as it only exposes identity metadata.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Identifies a Workspace entity (user, group, alias, etc.) by its email or ID. It is categorised as a Read tool in the GAM MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the GAM MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for identify_workspace_entity: 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 GAM MCP Server. Nothing to install.
identify_workspace_entity is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the identify_workspace_entity 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 identify_workspace_entity. 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.
identify_workspace_entity 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.
