Inserts a new row into a specified table.
AI agents use word_insertTableRow to create or update resources in MCP Office Interop Word Server — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your MCP Office Interop Word Server environment.
This tool creates and modifies document content (adds a row to a table) but the change is reversible—rows can be deleted and the operation does not destroy data or execute arbitrary code. It falls under Write category. Severity is medium because misuse could corrupt document structure or add unwanted content, but the impact is limited to a single table row within a document that can be edited or undone.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'word_insertTableRow' and description 'Inserts a new row into a specified table' indicate a create/modify operation that adds a new table row to an existing document structure.

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and MCP Office Interop Word Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for word_insertTableRow:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"word_insertTableRow": {
"limits": [
{
"counter": "word_inserttablerow_rate",
"window": "minute",
"max": 30,
"scope": "grant"
}
]
}
}
}word_insertTableRow 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.
