Read with Google Workspace, then approve actions

Use "You can connect only the needed Google Workspace plugin, separate reads from actions and verify every write at the source" to say what you would do next.

Step 1 of 3

The job: you can connect only the needed Google Workspace pluginA Cursor marketplace package that bundles MCP servers and skills (sometimes sub-agents and hooks); one click installs all of it into your Cursor instance. Press Enter for the full definition., separate reads from actions and verify every write at the source. Start with this check: The installed plugin and connected Google account match the task. Keep it small enough to check the result yourself instead of taking the summary on trust.

Drive, Gmail and Calendar permission boundaries

Use Google Workspace sources, then approve one action
Drive, Gmail and Calendar permission boundaries
SayThe release task needs the signed-off brief from Drive and one customer thread from Gmail. It does not need permission to change anyone's calendar.
DoInstall Drive and Gmail separately, leave Calendar disconnected, and confirm the connected Google account.
DoRead the named brief and thread first. Record their links, owners and dates before using them as requirements.
SeeThe agent can show which statements came from Drive, which came from Gmail and which are its own inference.
DoAsk for a release email draft, not a send. Compare the draft with the merged change and test evidence before approving any external action.
SeeReading source context and sending mail are two visible steps, not one hidden permission jump.
DoApprove the send only after the owner signs off, then read the sent message back in Gmail.
SeeThe workflow used the right sources, changed no calendar, and left proof of the one action a person approved.
