Create a live editing session with automatic refresh capabilities Args: path: Path to the document for live editing auto_refresh: Whether to enable automatic refresh detection
AI agents use create_live_editing_session to create or update resources in LibreOffice MCP Server — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your LibreOffice MCP Server environment.
The tool creates a live editing session on a document, which is a Write-category action (setting up state that enables modification). It does not delete data, execute arbitrary code, or move money. Severity is medium because a misused session could enable unintended document modifications, but the tool itself only initializes the session rather than performing edits directly.

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