Return a Colab URL for a Drive notebook; this does not open a browser.
AI agents call get_colab_url to retrieve information from Pypi:colab Drive without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves and returns a URL string without modifying data, executing code, or triggering external actions. It performs a simple query/lookup operation to generate a shareable link for an existing notebook, characteristic of the Read category.

Return a Colab URL for a Drive notebook; this does not open a browser. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Pypi:colab Drive MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Pypi:colab Drive MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_colab_url: 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 Pypi:colab Drive. Nothing to install.
get_colab_url 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 get_colab_url 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 get_colab_url. 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.
get_colab_url is provided by the Pypi:colab Drive MCP server (yummytastycode/colab-drive-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
