How to control gsc_new_keywords ↓

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

Low Risk

This tool reads and compares Search Console query data across time periods to identify new keywords. It retrieves/queries existing data with no side effects, modifications, or destructive operations. Low severity as it only surfaces informational analytics about search queries.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access gsc_new_keywords gives an agent:

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

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

gsc_new_keywords 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 BigQuery 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.
