How to control add_text_with_formatting ↓

AI agents use add_text_with_formatting to create or update resources in Docx_MCP_cj — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Docx_MCP_cj environment.

Medium Risk

The tool creates or modifies document content (text with formatting) reversibly. This is a Write operation—it adds data to a Word document without deleting or executing arbitrary code. Severity is medium because uncontrolled text insertion could corrupt document structure or inject misleading content, but effects are reversible via undo or deletion.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'add_text_with_formatting' indicates text insertion with styling. Server context shows 42 tools for 'fill any Word document' with 'coordinate-based filling'. Sibling tools include add_heading, add_paragraph, add_image—all Write operations.

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

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Docx_MCP_cj, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for add_text_with_formatting:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "add_text_with_formatting": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "add_text_with_formatting_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

add_text_with_formatting 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.

  1. Create a free account and register Docx_MCP_cj — 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.
