Why start_google_auth needs a policy

Authentication initiation is an Execute-category action because it triggers an external operation (Google OAuth/authentication flow) that can authorize subsequent API calls and data access. The actual scope of access depends on the authentication parameters and consent given.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'start_google_auth' indicates initiation of Google authentication flow. In the context of a server that 'Transforms any API into an intelligent MCP agent' and enables 'natural language interaction with APIs', this tool triggers external…

POLICY

How to control start_google_auth

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Automagik Tools, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for start_google_auth:

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "start_google_auth": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "start_google_auth_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 10,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

start_google_auth stays usable, but rate-capped — a runaway agent can't fire it dozens of times a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Create a free account and register Automagik Tools — nothing to install.
Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.

How do I enforce a policy on start_google_auth? +

Register the Automagik Tools MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for start_google_auth: 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 Automagik Tools. Nothing to install.

What risk level is start_google_auth? +

start_google_auth is a Execute tool with high risk. Execute tools should be rate-limited and have argument validation enabled.

Can I rate-limit start_google_auth? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the start_google_auth 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.

How do I block start_google_auth completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for start_google_auth. 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.

What MCP server provides start_google_auth? +

start_google_auth is provided by the Automagik Tools MCP server (namastexlabs/automagik-tools). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Automagik Tools tool call.

Start from Automagik Tools, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
