WHAT IT DOES

What add_site does on Google Search Console Mcp Python

AI agents use add_site to create or update resources in Google Search Console Mcp Python — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Google Search Console Mcp Python environment.

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why add_site needs a policy

This tool creates a new site resource in Google Search Console, which is a reversible Write operation. While adding a site doesn't directly modify existing data or delete anything, it does add a new managed property to the user's account. Severity is medium because misconfiguration could lead to monitoring unintended sites or account sprawl, but the operation itself is reversible (sites can be removed from GSC).

From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Add a new site to your Google Search Console account.' The verb 'Add' indicates creation of a new resource (a site entry in GSC).
