## Why append_docx is rated Medium

This tool creates or modifies data in a reversible manner by appending text to a Word document. It does not delete, execute arbitrary code, or commit financial transactions. The severity is medium because appending text to documents could be misused to inject malicious content, alter agreements, or corrupt document integrity, but the damage is potentially reversible by editing or undoing changes.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'append_docx' and description 'Append text content to an existing document' indicate modification of an existing document. The word 'append' explicitly describes a write operation that adds content reversibly."

## Use case

AI agents use append_docx 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.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)
