Read content from a Google Drive file
AI agents call read_drive_file to retrieve information from Google Drive HPC Log Analyzer without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves file content from Google Drive without side effects. However, severity is elevated to 'medium' rather than 'low' because the tool could expose sensitive data contained in HPC logs or other files stored on Google Drive, which may include credentials, proprietary research data, or system configuration details that could inform further attacks.
From the tool's definition Tool name and description explicitly state 'Read content from a Google Drive file' with no modification, deletion, or execution capabilities mentioned.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Read content from a Google Drive file. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Google Drive HPC Log Analyzer MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Google Drive HPC Log Analyzer MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for read_drive_file: 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 Google Drive HPC Log Analyzer. Nothing to install.
read_drive_file 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 read_drive_file 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 read_drive_file. 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.
read_drive_file is provided by the Google Drive HPC Log Analyzer MCP server (minitim222/gdrive_hpc_mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
