AI agents use pages_create_document_with_content 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 creates new document content in Apple Pages, which is a reversible write operation. It does not execute arbitrary code, delete data, or move money. The medium severity reflects that an AI agent could generate unwanted documents or fill storage, but the action is recoverable (documents can be deleted). The high confidence is based on explicit 'create' language in both name and description.
From the tool's definition Tool name contains 'create' and description states 'Create a Pages document with multiple formatted paragraphs' — directly creates and modifies document data.

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 pages_create_document_with_content:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"pages_create_document_with_content": {
"limits": [
{
"counter": "pages_create_document_with_content_rate",
"window": "minute",
"max": 30,
"scope": "grant"
}
]
}
}
}pages_create_document_with_content 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.

Create a Pages document with multiple formatted paragraphs in one call (much faster than adding paragraphs individually). For bold/italic, use PostScript font names like. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Iwork MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
Register the Iwork MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for pages_create_document_with_content: 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.
pages_create_document_with_content 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 pages_create_document_with_content 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 pages_create_document_with_content. 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.
pages_create_document_with_content is provided by the Iwork MCP server (reichenbach/iwork_mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
Start from Iwork, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
