How to control get_document_info ↓

AI agents call get_document_info to retrieve information from LibreOffice MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Low Risk

This tool retrieves information about a document (its properties, statistics, metadata) without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. It is a read-only query operation with no side effects, fitting the 'Read' category. Severity is low because exposing document metadata carries minimal risk—it cannot alter data, move files, or trigger external operations.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_document_info' and description 'Get detailed information about a LibreOffice document' with a path argument indicate retrieval of document metadata/properties without modification or execution.

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

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 get_document_info:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "get_document_info": {}
  }
}

get_document_info is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  1. Create a free account and register LibreOffice MCP Server — 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.
