Show authentication/token status and scope diagnostics
AI agents call authGetStatus to retrieve information from Google Drive MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool queries and displays status information only. It has no side effects, does not execute operations, does not modify data, and does not access user files or content. It is purely informational, making it a Read category operation with low severity.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'authGetStatus' and description 'Show authentication/token status and scope diagnostics' indicate this retrieves diagnostic information about authentication state and permissions without modifying any data or triggering operations.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access authGetStatus gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Google Drive MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for authGetStatus:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"authGetStatus": {}
}
}authGetStatus is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Show authentication/token status and scope diagnostics. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Google Drive MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Google Drive MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for authGetStatus: 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 Drive MCP Server. Nothing to install.
authGetStatus 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 authGetStatus 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 authGetStatus. 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.
authGetStatus is provided by the Google Drive MCP Server MCP server (piotr-agier/google-drive-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
