getDocumentInfo

Gets detailed information about a specific Google Document.

How to control getDocumentInfo ↓

AI agents call getDocumentInfo 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.

Low Risk

This tool only queries and returns metadata or content from an existing Google Document. It performs no creation, modification, deletion, or execution of external operations. The verb 'Gets' confirms a read-only operation with no destructive or side-effect capabilities.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'getDocumentInfo' and description 'Gets detailed information about a specific Google Document' indicate a retrieval operation with no modification or side effects.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access getDocumentInfo 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 getDocumentInfo:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "getDocumentInfo": {}
  }
}

getDocumentInfo is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  1. Create a free account and register Google Drive MCP Server — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
