## Why list_content_controls is rated Low

This tool performs a read-only operation to enumerate content controls within a Word document. It has no side effects, does not modify the document, execute code, delete data, or involve financial transactions. The blast radius of misuse is minimal — an AI agent querying content controls poses no significant risk.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name is 'list_content_controls' and description states 'List all content controls in a document' — a query operation that retrieves metadata about document structure without modifying or executing anything."

## Use case

AI agents call list_content_controls to retrieve information from Docx without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

Verdict: **Allowed**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches Docx:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "list_content_controls": {}
  }
}
```
