What gsc_list_sites does on Google Search Console

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.

Why gsc_list_sites needs a policy

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.
