OpenAI ChatGPT blocks Google Drive writes for automation workflows

A user reported that OpenAI's ChatGPT has begun blocking their automated software development workflow, which involves writing instructions to a Google Docs document for their Codex agent. The user notes that while reading and smaller edits still function, larger instruction insertions are now being flagged by OpenAI's safety checks, despite the document being well within Google Docs' character limits and the user having enabled "Allow all actions" for the Google Drive app. This change has disrupted a previously functional workflow, and the user is seeking clarification on recent safety modifications and how to maintain reliable inter-agent coordination.
