AI agents use add_paragraph to create or update resources in Doc/docx — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Doc/docx environment.
This tool creates new paragraph content in a Word document with optional formatting. It is reversible—the added paragraph can be deleted or modified later. It does not execute code, delete data, or cause financial impact. The blast radius is minimal as misuse would only result in unwanted text additions that can be undone. Severity is low due to the reversible nature and limited potential for harm.
From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Add paragraph text to document' with parameters for text content and formatting (bold, italic, underline, font_size, font_name, color, alignment).
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access add_paragraph gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Doc/docx, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for add_paragraph:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"add_paragraph": {
"limits": [
{
"counter": "add_paragraph_rate",
"window": "minute",
"max": 30,
"scope": "grant"
}
]
}
}
}add_paragraph 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.

Add paragraph text to document Parameters: - text: Paragraph text content - bold: Whether to bold - italic: Whether to italicize - underline: Whether to underline - font_size: Font size (points) - font_name: Font name - color: Text color (format: #FF0000) - alignment: Alignment (left, center, right, justify). It is categorised as a Write tool in the Doc/docx MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
Register the Doc/docx MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for add_paragraph: 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 Doc/docx. Nothing to install.
add_paragraph is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the add_paragraph 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.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for add_paragraph. 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.
add_paragraph is provided by the Doc/docx MCP server (meterlong/mcp-doc). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
Start from Doc/docx, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
