What getScriptContent does on Google Workspace MCP Server

AI agents call getScriptContent to retrieve information from Google Workspace MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Why getScriptContent needs a policy

This tool reads and retrieves Apps Script project files without creating, modifying, or deleting resources. However, it accesses potentially sensitive automation code that could reveal business logic, credentials embedded in scripts, or proprietary automation workflows, warranting a medium severity rating despite the read-only nature.

From the tool's definition 'Retrieves the content of an Apps Script project including all files' - the verb 'retrieves' and the scope 'content' indicate data access without modification.

How to control getScriptContent

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

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "getScriptContent": {}
  }
}

getScriptContent is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

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