Remove a user's access to a document.
AI agents call remove_permission to permanently remove resources in Google Docs MCP Server — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
Removing permissions is an irreversible action (or at least not automatically reversible) that revokes a user's access to a document. This could disrupt collaboration, lock out legitimate users, and cause significant harm if misused by an AI agent. It falls under Destructive as access removal is not easily undone without manual re-granting of permissions.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Remove a user's access to a document. It is categorised as a Destructive tool in the Google Docs MCP Server MCP Server, which means it can permanently delete or destroy data. Block by default and require explicit approval.
Register the Google Docs MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for remove_permission: 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 Docs MCP Server. Nothing to install.
remove_permission is a Destructive tool with critical risk. Critical-risk tools should be blocked by default and only enabled with explicit human approval.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the remove_permission 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 remove_permission. 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.
remove_permission is provided by the Google Docs MCP Server MCP server (nickweedon/google-docs-mcp-docker). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
