Why upload_template needs a policy

This tool creates or stores data (uploading a DOCX file to Google Drive), which is a write operation. While it modifies cloud storage, it is reversible (files can be deleted or replaced), so it does not qualify as Destructive.

From the tool's definition The tool description explicitly states 'Upload a DOCX file as a template to Google Drive.' Upload and file storage are write operations that create new resources.

How to control upload_template

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 upload_template:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "upload_template": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "upload_template_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

upload_template stays usable, but capped — an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

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