How to control get-doc ↓

AI agents call get-doc to retrieve information from MCP-Google-Doc without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Low Risk

This tool retrieves or queries a Google Doc without modifying it. The naming convention (get-*) and its position among write/destructive operations (create/update/delete) confirm it is a read-only retrieval operation. No side effects or data modification occurs. Low severity due to read-only nature and typical low sensitivity of document retrieval in isolation.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'get-doc' paired with sibling tools including 'create-doc', 'delete-doc', 'update-doc' indicates this retrieves document content.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access get-doc gives an agent:

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and MCP-Google-Doc, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for get-doc:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "get-doc": {}
  }
}

get-doc is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  1. Create a free account and register MCP-Google-Doc — 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.
