Check the 2FA enforcement method and allowed second factors (security key, phone, etc.)
AI agents call check_2fa_enforcement_method to retrieve information from Google Workspace Compliance Audit Tool without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

It is a compliance audit query, which is a standard Read operation. Severity is low because misuse results only in information disclosure about the organization's 2FA configuration, not unauthorized access or changes to systems.
