WHAT IT DOES

What artifact_generate_mind_map does on NotebookLM MCP Server

AI agents use artifact_generate_mind_map to create or update resources in NotebookLM MCP Server — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your NotebookLM MCP Server environment.

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why artifact_generate_mind_map needs a policy

The tool creates a new artifact (mind map) from existing notebook sources. This is a generative/write operation that produces a new resource. It does not delete data, execute arbitrary code, or involve financial transactions. Severity is medium because misuse could generate unwanted artifacts in a user's notebook, but the blast radius is limited.
