Part of the Hwpx MCP server. Enforce policies on this tool with Intercept, the open-source MCP proxy.
AI agents call get_table_map to retrieve information from Hwpx without modifying any data. This is common in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows where the agent needs context before taking action. Because read operations don't change state, they are generally safe to allow without restrictions -- but you may still want rate limits to control API costs.
Even though get_table_map only reads data, uncontrolled read access can leak sensitive information or rack up API costs. An agent caught in a retry loop could make thousands of calls per minute. A rate limit gives you a safety net without blocking legitimate use.
Read-only tools are safe to allow by default. No rate limit needed unless you want to control costs.

⭐ RECOMMENDED for finding tables. Returns ALL tables with their headers and metadata. Returns for each table: - table_index: Global index (use this for other table operations) - header: Text from the paragraph BEFORE the table (usually the table title) - size: rows × cols - is_empty: Whether table has content - first_row_preview: Preview of first row data Use this FIRST when working with tables, then use the table_index for: - get_table, update_table_cell, insert_image_in_cell, etc. Alternative tools: - find_table_by_header: Search by header text - get_tables: Raw table list without headers. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Hwpx MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Add a rule in your Intercept YAML policy under the tools section for get_table_map. You can allow, deny, rate-limit, or validate arguments. Then run Intercept as a proxy in front of the Hwpx MCP server.
get_table_map is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the get_table_map rule in your Intercept 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.
Set action: deny in the Intercept policy for get_table_map. 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.
get_table_map is provided by the Hwpx MCP server (hwpx-mcp-server). Intercept sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
