Append rows of data after the last row with content in a Google Sheets spreadsheet
AI agents use google_sheets_append_rows to create or update resources in Sage MCP — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Sage MCP environment.
This tool adds new rows to an existing Google Sheets spreadsheet. It is a reversible write operation (rows can be deleted afterward), not destructive, and has no financial or execution implications. Misuse could pollute important spreadsheets with unwanted data, hence medium severity.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access google_sheets_append_rows gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Sage MCP, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for google_sheets_append_rows:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"google_sheets_append_rows": {
"limits": [
{
"counter": "google_sheets_append_rows_rate",
"window": "minute",
"max": 30,
"scope": "grant"
}
]
}
}
}google_sheets_append_rows 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.

Append rows of data after the last row with content in a Google Sheets spreadsheet. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Sage MCP MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
Register the Sage MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for google_sheets_append_rows: 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 Sage MCP. Nothing to install.
google_sheets_append_rows is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the google_sheets_append_rows 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 google_sheets_append_rows. 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.
google_sheets_append_rows is provided by the Sage MCP server (sagemcp/sagemcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
