What add_image_caption does on Docx
AI agents use add_image_caption to create or update resources in Docx, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Docx environment.
Why add_image_caption is rated Medium
Adding a caption to an image is a reversible write operation that modifies document content but does not delete data, execute code, or create financial obligations. The change can be undone by removing or editing the caption. Severity is low because caption modifications have minimal blast radius—they affect only document formatting/presentation, not core data integrity or external system state.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'add_image_caption' and description states it 'Add[s] a caption to an image in the document.' This is a modification operation that adds metadata/formatting to an existing image.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs add_image_caption safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Docx, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For add_image_caption, this is the rule to start with:
add_image_caption 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 Docx, apply this rule, and every add_image_caption call is checked against it from then on.
