MOST DANGEROUS TOOLS

High Risk

The most dangerous LibreOffice MCP Tools tools

Write · Low document_apply_style This tool modifies document formatting properties in a reversible manner. Write · Low document_close document_close modifies application state by closing documents and releasing resources, making it a Write-category operation rather than Read. Write · Medium document_convert The tool creates new output files through document conversion, which is a reversible write operation. Write · Low document_create This tool creates new, empty documents in standard Office formats (DOCX, XLSX, PPTX) without modifying existing data or executing arbitrary code.

14 of LibreOffice MCP Tools's 27 tools can modify, destroy, or commit something on every call — and an agent calls them with no built-in limits.

POLICY

How to control LibreOffice MCP Tools

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and LibreOffice MCP Tools, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. These are the rules we recommend:

Rate limit write operations

{
  "document_apply_style": {
    "limits": [
      {
        "counter": "document_apply_style_per_hour",
        "window": "hour",
        "max": 30,
        "scope": "grant"
      }
    ]
  }
}

Prevents bulk unintended modifications from agents caught in loops.

Cap read operations

{
  "document_get_metadata": {
    "limits": [
      {
        "counter": "document_get_metadata_per_minute",
        "window": "minute",
        "max": 60,
        "scope": "grant"
      }
    ]
  }
}

Controls API costs and prevents retry loops from exhausting upstream rate limits.
