WHAT IT DOES

What apply_edit does on Hwpx

AI agents use apply_edit to create or update resources in Hwpx, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Hwpx environment.

RISK

Why apply_edit is rated Medium

The tool applies edits to HWPX documents based on validation plans. Although it claims not to modify the original directly, it still creates or modifies document content, which is characteristic of Write operations. The high severity reflects that an agent could apply unintended validation plans to create malformed documents or corrupt formatting.

From the tool's definition Tool description indicates it 'applies validation plan' and explicitly states '원본 HWPX는 직접 수정하지 않습니다' (does not directly modify original HWPX), suggesting reversible modification of document content based on a validation plan.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs apply_edit safely

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

apply_edit Rate-limited

apply_edit stays usable, but capped: an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

View as policy code

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "apply_edit": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "apply_edit_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

LIMIT THIS TOOL → Instant setup, no code required.

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Hwpx, apply this rule, and every apply_edit call is checked against it from then on.
