AI agents use merge_plans to create or modify resources in Safe Docx. Write operations carry medium risk because an autonomous agent could trigger bulk unintended modifications. Rate limits prevent a single agent session from making hundreds of changes in rapid succession. Argument validation ensures the agent passes expected values.

Without a policy, an AI agent could call merge_plans repeatedly, creating or modifying resources faster than any human could review. PolicyLayer's rate limiting ensures write operations happen at a controlled pace, and argument validation catches malformed or unexpected inputs before they reach Safe Docx.

Write tools can modify data. A rate limit prevents runaway bulk operations from AI agents.

These attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access merge_plans gives an agent. Each links to the full case and the policy that stops it:

Every attack above starts with a tool call. PolicyLayer checks each one against your policy first, so merge_plans only ever does what you allow.

What does the merge_plans tool do? +

Deterministically merge multiple sub-agent plans and detect hard conflicts before apply.. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Safe Docx MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

How do I enforce a policy on merge_plans? +

Register the Safe Docx MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for merge_plans: 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 Safe Docx. Nothing to install.

What risk level is merge_plans? +

merge_plans is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.

Can I rate-limit merge_plans? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the merge_plans 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.

How do I block merge_plans completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for merge_plans. 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.

What MCP server provides merge_plans? +

merge_plans is provided by the Safe Docx MCP server (@usejunior/safe-docx). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Safe Docx tool call.
