WHAT IT DOES

What query_cloudsql does on GCP Sales Analytics MCP Server

AI agents invoke query_cloudsql to trigger actions in GCP Sales Analytics MCP Server. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call — builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why query_cloudsql needs a policy

This tool runs arbitrary SQL queries against a PostgreSQL database. While the description says 'query', it uses the word 'Execute' and arbitrary SQL can include DELETE, DROP, UPDATE, or other destructive/modifying statements beyond simple reads. The blast radius is high because an AI agent could run destructive SQL if not properly constrained, affecting production sales data.
