Google Webmaster Tools allows people to verify site ownership through an existence of a special file.

What if I were to create a catch-all rule, and let anyone add my site in their Google Webmaster Tools?

Can nefarious people damage my site's reputation or perform other adverse actions that are impossible otherwise?

I always urge people to be cautious in Google Webmaster Tools because there are several settings that can damage your site:

Limit the Googlebot crawl rate which can effect indexing and freshness
Geo targetting which can cause your site only to show up in search results for a particular country
Site link demotion
URL removal
URL parameters which can cause Googlebot to ignore important pages on your site that use parameters

You shouldn't give just anyone access. There are several control is Google Webmaster Tools that can hurt your sites visibility in Google if misused.
