The tool name 'extract_table_structure' and its position among sibling tools suggests it reads and returns table structure data without modifying the document. This is a Read operation with low blast radius. Confidence is 0.85 rather than higher because the description is empty, but the name and server context provide strong evidence of read-only behavior.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access extract_table_structure 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 extract_table_structure:

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

extract_table_structure 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 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.
