What gcp_billing does on RedisNexus

AI agents call gcp_billing to retrieve information from RedisNexus without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Why gcp_billing needs a policy

The tool retrieves and summarizes GCP billing data from BigQuery exports. It reads financial information but does not move money, commit financial obligations, or modify any data. However, it exposes sensitive financial cost data, warranting a medium severity rating due to potential data leakage of cost structures and usage patterns.
