What resolveComment does on Google Workspace MCP Server

AI agents use resolveComment 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 resolveComment needs a policy

This tool modifies comment status from unresolved to resolved, which is a reversible write operation. It changes metadata on existing comments without deleting or creating new data. The severity is low because: (1) the operation is reversible (comments can be re-opened), (2) it affects only comment metadata, not document content, and (3) the tool has acknowledged limitations that reduce its real-world impact.

From the tool's definition Tool description states it 'Marks a comment as resolved', which is a state change operation on existing data (comments).
