WHAT IT DOES

What add_section_break does on Docx

AI agents use add_section_break 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.

RISK

Why add_section_break is rated Medium

This tool modifies document structure reversibly by inserting section breaks—a non-destructive write operation. It alters the document layout and formatting but does not delete data, execute code, or cause irreversible changes. Confidence is high because the action is explicit and limited in scope.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'add_section_break' and description 'Add a section break at a paragraph' indicate structural modification of document content.

add_section_break Rate-limited

add_section_break 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.
