Get stored behavior patterns
AI agents call get_behaviors to retrieve information from Google Workspace MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves previously stored behavior pattern data from the personal memory system. It performs a query operation without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing external actions. The read-only nature and lack of destructive capability make this a Read category tool with low severity, as misuse would only expose stored user preferences and behavioral data rather than cause operational harm.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_behaviors' and description 'Get stored behavior patterns' indicate data retrieval with no modification or side effects.

Get stored behavior patterns. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Google Workspace MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Google Workspace MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_behaviors: 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 Workspace MCP Server. Nothing to install.
get_behaviors is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the get_behaviors 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 get_behaviors. 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.
get_behaviors is provided by the Google Workspace MCP Server MCP server (pbulbule13/google-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
