What compose_exam does on Hwpx
AI agents use compose_exam 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.
Why compose_exam is rated Medium
Without an explicit description, confidence is moderate. The tool name suggests creating an exam document/section, and the server's stated capability to modify documents combined with similar write-oriented sibling tools indicates this performs document modification rather than mere reading. No evidence of deletion (Destructive), execution (Execute), or financial impact.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'compose_exam' with no description provided. Server description indicates ability to 'modify HWPX documents directly'. Sibling tools include add_heading, add_paragraph, add_table, add_toc, add_tracked_edit — all Write operations.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs compose_exam 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 compose_exam, this is the rule to start with:
compose_exam 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.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Hwpx, apply this rule, and every compose_exam call is checked against it from then on.
