List all sites (properties) you have access to in Google Search Console. Returns site URLs and permission levels.
AI agents call gsc_list_sites to retrieve information from Google Search Console without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
Even though gsc_list_sites only reads data, uncontrolled read access leaks sensitive information and racks up API costs — an agent caught in a retry loop can make thousands of calls a minute without anyone noticing.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
List all sites (properties) you have access to in Google Search Console. Returns site URLs and permission levels. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Google Search Console MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Google Search Console MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for gsc_list_sites: 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 Google Search Console. Nothing to install.
gsc_list_sites is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the gsc_list_sites 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 gsc_list_sites. 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.
gsc_list_sites is provided by the Google Search Console MCP server (sofianbettayeb/gsc-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
