Set the height of a row
AI agents use numbers_set_row_height to create or update resources in Iwork — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Iwork environment.
This tool modifies spreadsheet row dimensions, which is a Write operation—it changes data/document structure but remains reversible. Severity is medium because misuse could corrupt document layout or make content inaccessible, but the effect is containable and undoable. High confidence based on clear descriptive language indicating a formatting modification rather than data deletion or code execution.

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Iwork, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for numbers_set_row_height:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"numbers_set_row_height": {
"limits": [
{
"counter": "numbers_set_row_height_rate",
"window": "minute",
"max": 30,
"scope": "grant"
}
]
}
}
}numbers_set_row_height stays usable, but capped — an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Register the Iwork MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for numbers_set_row_height: 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 Iwork. Nothing to install.
numbers_set_row_height is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the numbers_set_row_height 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 numbers_set_row_height. 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.

Start from Iwork, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
