WHAT IT DOES

What set_list_level does on Docx

AI agents use set_list_level 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.

RISK

Why set_list_level is rated Medium

The tool modifies document list formatting by setting indentation levels—a reversible write operation. While it alters document state, it does not execute arbitrary code, delete content, or trigger financial transactions. The medium severity reflects that formatting changes could affect document appearance or structure, but the operation is fully reversible and scoped to list indentation.

From the tool's definition Tool performs list indentation modification via 'set_list_level', which modifies document formatting. The server description states it handles 'formatting' and 'style application'.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

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

set_list_level Rate-limited

set_list_level 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 set_list_level call is checked against it from then on.
