Form Watchdog only reads the Google Form you choose and its responses. It uses them to validate the Form, monitor new submissions, send notifications and reminders, track follow-up status, and show response details when you request them. Form Watchdog does not create, edit, or delete your Google Forms™ or responses.
If you install the Google Forms™ add-on, Google describes its forms permission as “View and manage forms that this application has been installed in”. The add-on only reads that form.
