Read a specific range of a document by paragraph index (for Writer) or slide index (for Impress). More token-efficient than document_read_text when you only need a specific section.
AI agents call document_read_range to retrieve information from LibreOffice MCP Tools without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool only retrieves content from a document by paragraph or slide index without any side effects. It performs a read-only query operation, making it a Read category risk. The severity is low because reading document content poses minimal security risk unless the document contains highly sensitive data, which is outside the scope of the tool's inherent capability.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'document_read_range' and description explicitly states it 'Read[s] a specific range of a document' with no modification or execution capabilities.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Read a specific range of a document by paragraph index (for Writer) or slide index (for Impress). More token-efficient than document_read_text when you only need a specific section. It is categorised as a Read tool in the LibreOffice MCP Tools MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the LibreOffice MCP Tools MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for document_read_range: 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 LibreOffice MCP Tools. Nothing to install.
document_read_range 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 document_read_range 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 document_read_range. 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.
document_read_range is provided by the LibreOffice MCP Tools MCP server (passerbyflutter/libreoffice-mcp-tools). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
