What set_list_format does on Hwpx
AI agents use set_list_format 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 set_list_format is rated Medium
The tool modifies document structure by applying list formatting to paragraphs, which is a reversible Write operation. It does not delete data (not Destructive), execute arbitrary code (not Execute), trigger financial transactions (not Financial), or retrieve data without side effects (not Read). Severity is low because formatting changes in documents are easily reversible and have minimal blast radius if misapplied.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'set_list_format' and description indicating it applies bullet or numbered list formatting to existing paragraphs (기존 문단에 불릿 또는 번호 목록 서식을 적용합니다). This modifies document formatting rather than data content.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs set_list_format 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 set_list_format, this is the rule to start with:
set_list_format 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 set_list_format call is checked against it from then on.
