Limitations

Key limitations: Workspace conventions and prioritization still need team context. Project, CRM, document, and spreadsheet writes depend on team context and privacy rules; require least-privilege scopes and review for workflow-changing actions. MCP servers inherit the connected account's scopes and may send prompts or data to third-party services; configure read-only or narrow scopes when available. API automation needs client-side throttling, idempotency where supported, pagination limits, retries, and audit logging.
