WHAT IT DOES

What list_equations does on Docx

AI agents call list_equations 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.

RISK

Why list_equations is rated Low

The tool name 'list_equations' performs a query or enumeration operation to retrieve equations from a Word document. This is a non-destructive read operation with no side effects. The sibling tool 'extract_images' on the same server follows an identical retrieval pattern.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_equations' indicates retrieval/enumeration of equations from a document; consistent with other Read category tools on this server (extract_images, copy_docx for inspection); no description provided but the pattern strongly suggests data…

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs list_equations 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 list_equations, this is the rule to start with:

list_equations Allowed

list_equations is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "list_equations": {}
  }
}

ALLOW ONLY THIS TOOL → Instant setup, no code required.

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Docx, apply this rule, and every list_equations call is checked against it from then on.

FAQ

Questions about list_equations

What does the list_equations tool do? +

list_equations is a read tool on the Docx MCP server. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Docx MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on list_equations? +

Register the Docx MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for list_equations: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Docx. Nothing to install.

What risk level is list_equations? +

list_equations is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.

Can I rate-limit list_equations? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the list_equations rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.

How do I block list_equations completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for list_equations. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.

What MCP server provides list_equations? +

list_equations is provided by the Docx MCP server (andrew82106/llm_docx_agent_mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
