Why insertPageBreak needs a policy

This tool modifies a Google Doc by inserting a page break, which is a reversible write operation. It does not execute arbitrary code, delete data, or cause financial impact. The blast radius is minimal—incorrect page break placement can be easily undone by removing the break. Severity is low because page formatting changes are trivial to revert and do not affect core document data.

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'insertPageBreak' and description states 'Inserts a page break at the specified index.' The verb 'inserts' indicates a modification operation that creates new content within a document.

How to control insertPageBreak

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 insertPageBreak:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "insertPageBreak": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "insertpagebreak_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

insertPageBreak 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.

  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
