remember · Google Workspace MCP Server MCP: Risk & Policy

WHAT IT DOES

What remember does on Google Workspace MCP Server

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

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why remember needs a policy

The tool creates or modifies stored data (facts, preferences, notes) in a personal memory system. This is a Write operation as it persistently stores information. The description is truncated, lowering confidence slightly. Severity is medium because misuse could write incorrect or manipulative data to a user's persistent memory store, affecting future AI behavior and decisions.

From the tool's definition 'Quickly remember anything - facts, preferences, notes, temporary info. Use for any' - the tool stores/writes data to a personal memory system

Verdict

remember Rate-limited

remember stays usable, but capped — an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
