This tool creates new documents, which is a reversible write operation. It does not delete or overwrite existing files (which would be Destructive), nor does it execute arbitrary code or trigger external operations with argument-dependent effects (Execute).

From the tool's definition Tool name 'word_create' and description 'Creates a new Word (.docx) document with the given content' explicitly indicates creation of a new file with user-supplied content.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs word_create safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Local, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For word_create, this is the rule to start with:

word_create Rate-limited

word_create 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.
