[Google Play] Get app permissions
AI agents call gp_permissions to retrieve information from Store Scraper MCP without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves publicly available permission information for apps on Google Play Store. It performs a read-only query operation with no side effects, data modification, code execution, or destructive capability. The severity is low because the data retrieved is non-sensitive metadata already published by app developers and accessible to any user of the Google Play Store.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'gp_permissions' and description 'Get app permissions' indicate data retrieval with no modification.

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the gp_permissions 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.
