## Why add_comment is rated Medium

Adding a comment is a write operation that creates new content in the document. It is reversible (comments can be deleted) and does not execute arbitrary code, delete data, or involve financial transactions.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name is 'add_comment' and description states it will 'Add a comment anchored to a paragraph' — this creates new data (a comment) within the document, modifying its structure reversibly."

## Use case

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

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

Verdict: **Rate-limited**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches Docx:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "add_comment": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "add_comment_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
