WHAT IT DOES

What style_paragraph does on Mcp Google Docs

AI agents invoke style_paragraph to trigger actions in Mcp Google Docs. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call: builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
`tab_id`	string	—	Tab to target (from list_tabs). Omit for the first/only tab.
`alignment`	string	—	Text alignment.
`direction`	string	—	Content direction.
`end_index`	integer	Yes	End of the paragraph range (exclusive).
`indent_end`	number	—	Indent from the end edge, points.
`segment_id`	string	—	Header/footer/footnote segment id (from get_document). Omit for the document body.
`document_id`	string	Yes	The document id — the long id from the document URL (docs.google.com/document/d/<documentId>/edit) or from create_document output.
`named_style`	string	—	Named paragraph style — headings feed the document outline.
`space_above`	number	—	Extra space above the paragraph, points.
`space_below`	number	—	Extra space below the paragraph, points.
`start_index`	integer	Yes	Start of the paragraph range (inclusive).
`indent_start`	number	—	Indent from the start edge, points.

Parameters from the server's own tool schema.

RISK

Why style_paragraph is rated High

style_paragraph triggers real processes with real consequences. An agent gone sideways doesn't fire it once. It starts dozens of builds, sends mass notifications, or burns through compute before anyone looks up.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs style_paragraph safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Mcp Google Docs, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For style_paragraph, this is the rule to start with:

style_paragraph Rate-limited

style_paragraph stays usable, but rate-capped: a runaway agent can't fire it dozens of times a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

FAQ

Questions about style_paragraph

What does the style_paragraph tool do? +

Applies paragraph formatting to every paragraph overlapping [start_index, end_index): named_style (normal_text, title, subtitle, heading_1..heading_6 — the way to make headings), alignment (start/center/end/justified), line_spacing (100 = single, 200 = double), space_above/space_below (points), indent_start/indent_end/indent_first_line (points), keep_with_next and direction (ltr/rtl). Only the provided fields change; at least one is required. A range inside a single paragraph styles that whole paragraph. It is categorised as a Execute tool in the Mcp Google Docs MCP Server, which means it can trigger actions or run processes. Use rate limits and argument validation.

What parameters does style_paragraph accept? +

style_paragraph accepts 12 parameters: tab_id, alignment, direction, end_index, indent_end, segment_id, document_id, named_style, space_above, space_below, start_index, indent_start. Required: end_index, document_id, start_index. The full parameter table on this page comes from the server's own tool schema.

How do I enforce a policy on style_paragraph? +

Register the Mcp Google Docs MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for style_paragraph: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Mcp Google Docs. Nothing to install.

What risk level is style_paragraph? +

style_paragraph is a Execute tool with high risk. Execute tools should be rate-limited and have argument validation enabled.

Can I rate-limit style_paragraph? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the style_paragraph rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.

How do I block style_paragraph completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for style_paragraph. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.

What MCP server provides style_paragraph? +

style_paragraph is provided by the Mcp Google Docs MCP server (@a1-x-tech/mcp-google-docs). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
