Get the total number of rows in a table
AI agents call get_table_count 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 information (row count) from a table without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. It is a simple aggregation query with no side effects, which places it firmly in the Read category. The low severity reflects minimal risk—counting rows cannot damage data or cause harm regardless of how an agent uses it.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_table_count' and description 'Get the total number of rows in a table' indicate a read-only query operation that retrieves metadata about table size without modification.

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_table_count 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_table_count 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_table_count. 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.
