Low Risk

This tool only produces an audible beep sound on the computer speaker. It does not read, write, execute code, delete data, or involve financial transactions. It has no meaningful side effects beyond making a noise, making it a rare genuine 'Other' category tool.

From the tool's definition Beep the computer. frequency range is 37 to 32767, duration range is 0 to 65535.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access Beep gives an agent:

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and OfficeMCP, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for Beep:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "Beep": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "beep_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 60,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

Beep gets a rate cap, and everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  1. Create a free account and register OfficeMCP — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
