Secure Google Drive Access for AI Agents
Google Drive is the backbone of document storage for most teams, which makes it a prime target for AI agent access. But a single OAuth scope grants access to every file, folder, and shared drive in your account. ScopeGate lets you expose only the folders your agent actually needs — nothing more.
The Problem
Without scoped access, an AI agent with Google Drive permissions can browse your entire file tree, read confidential HR documents, download financial spreadsheets, and even permanently delete files. A misconfigured prompt or a prompt-injection attack could lead to mass file deletion or exfiltration of sensitive data across every shared drive in your organization.
Granular Permissions
Folder-scoped read
Restrict the agent to reading files within one or more specific folders, hiding everything else in the drive.
Example
Allow reading only files inside /Projects/Marketing-Q1 — the agent cannot see or access /Finance or /HR.
No delete
Strip all delete and trash capabilities so the agent can never remove files, even if instructed to.
Example
Agent can summarize and quote documents but cannot move them to trash or permanently delete them.
Download prevention
Allow the agent to read file metadata and content in-place without downloading or exporting copies.
Example
Agent reads a Google Doc's text for analysis but cannot export it as PDF or DOCX.
Specific file type access
Limit the agent to interacting with certain file types only, such as Google Docs but not Sheets or Slides.
Example
Agent processes only .pdf and .docx files in the target folder, ignoring spreadsheets and presentations.
Use Cases
- AI research assistant that reads project briefs from a specific folder to answer team questions
- Document summarization bot that processes new files in a shared marketing folder
- Compliance checker that scans contracts in a legal folder without accessing other departments
- Meeting notes organizer that reads transcripts from one folder and creates summaries
How It Works
Connect via OAuth
Authorize ScopeGate to access the service on your behalf. We never store raw credentials — only scoped OAuth tokens.
Set granular permissions
Choose exactly which resources, actions, and data your AI agent can access. Lock down everything else.
Get your MCP endpoint
Receive a unique MCP endpoint URL. Plug it into any AI agent — it can only do what you allowed.
