Get detailed statistics about a document Args: path: Path to the document file
AI agents call get_document_statistics 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.
This tool retrieves and reports analytical data about a document (e.g., word count, page count, formatting metrics). It has no side effects, does not modify data, and does not execute code or trigger external operations. It is clearly a Read operation with low severity because misuse would only expose document metadata, not enable destructive or financial actions.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_document_statistics' and description 'Get detailed statistics about a document' indicate a retrieval operation that gathers information about a document without modifying, deleting, or executing anything. The argument is merely a file path.

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_statistics:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"get_document_statistics": {}
}
}get_document_statistics is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
