Secure Google Sheets Access for AI Agents
Google Sheets often serves as a lightweight database — holding customer lists, financial projections, inventory data, and API keys. When AI agents need to query this data, full spreadsheet access creates serious risk. ScopeGate lets you lock down which sheets an agent can see and what it can do with them.
The Problem
An agent with full Sheets access can read every spreadsheet in your account, including salary data, customer PII, and API credentials stored in config sheets. It can overwrite formulas, delete rows of critical data, restructure sheets, or export entire spreadsheets — potentially corrupting months of collaborative work in seconds.
Granular Permissions
Read-only access
Allow the agent to read cell values and formulas without writing, editing, or deleting any data.
Example
Agent pulls weekly sales figures from a reporting sheet but cannot modify any cell.
Specific spreadsheet access
Restrict the agent to named spreadsheets by ID, hiding all other sheets in the account.
Example
Agent can only access 'Q1 Marketing Budget' — it cannot discover or open 'Employee Salaries'.
No structure changes
Block the agent from adding, removing, or renaming sheets, columns, or rows within a spreadsheet.
Example
Agent reads data from the existing columns but cannot add new tabs or rearrange the layout.
Cell range restriction
Limit the agent to specific cell ranges within a sheet, hiding data outside those bounds.
Example
Agent reads cells A1:D50 (product names and prices) but cannot see column E (profit margins).
Use Cases
- Reporting agent that reads sales data from a shared sheet and generates weekly summaries
- Inventory tracker that monitors stock levels in a specific spreadsheet and sends low-stock alerts
- Data analysis assistant that queries a customer feedback sheet to identify trends
- Budget monitoring bot that reads expense data from a finance sheet without editing formulas
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.
