Organization Policy MCP Server (Generally Available)
Google Cloud's Organization Policy now has a server that lets AI agents check and manage security guardrails, plus Gemini-written custom rules, for cloud platform and security teams.
Details
- The MCP server, a standard way for agents to connect to tools, lets agents discover which guardrails apply to a project, folder, or organization
- It can compute the effective policy after inheritance and tag-based conditions, so a team can check a change before making it
- It can also create policies and custom constraints, so guardrails can be managed through a conversation with an agent
- Custom constraints used to require writing Common Expression Language and knowing Google Cloud resource schemas; admins can now describe the rule in plain language to Gemini and refine it
- Gemini can also generate compliant and non-compliant test configurations, and Google recommends a dry run before enforcing a rule
- Both features are generally available; the post does not list pricing
