Why add_form_question_tool needs a policy

This tool creates or modifies form questions, which is reversible data creation. It does not delete data (would be Destructive), execute arbitrary code (would be Execute), or move money (would be Financial). The empty description reduces confidence slightly, but the naming pattern and sibling tools ('create_form_tool', 'append_*_tool') consistently indicate write operations on Google Workspace documents and forms.

From the tool's definition Tool name contains 'add_form_question' and server context shows tools for creating and managing Google Apps Script projects including 'create_form_tool'. The 'add_' prefix and form context indicate data creation/modification of form structures.

POLICY

How to control add_form_question_tool

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Apps Script MCP, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for add_form_question_tool:

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "add_form_question_tool": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "add_form_question_tool_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

add_form_question_tool 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.

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