Google’s Agent Access Control Is Separate From Its Linked-App Switches

November 8, 2026. If your goal is to stop an AI agent from using a linked app, first identify the relevant relationship. Google’s account controls distinguish agent permissions from other app connections.

In Google’s current linked-app instructions, open the linked-apps page for the correct account, find the app or use the Agent access filter, and select it. Under the agents section, choose the stop-using control for the agent you want to remove, then confirm.

Google says this prevents that agent from completing tasks using the app. It does not disconnect or delete the Google Account link with the app.

Match the control to your intention

Decide whether you want to stop delegated work or make a broader account change. Those are different goals. Read the app’s details before selecting another removal option, particularly if you still rely on it for ordinary sign-in or a separate integration.

A sensible review starts with one app and one intended result. Note what you changed and inspect the resulting settings rather than treating any success message as proof that every relationship has ended.

This is an explanation of Google’s documented controls, not a change we have made to your account. Labels and available options can differ, so follow the current official help if the screen you see differs. For a managed work account, check your organization’s guidance before changing shared integrations.
