## Why add_table is rated Medium

The tool creates and adds new content (a table) to a document, modifying its structure reversibly. This is a write operation—content can be undone or deleted. It does not execute arbitrary code, delete data irreversibly, or trigger financial transactions. The 'tracked insertion' feature suggests the change is recorded in the document's change tracking system, making it auditable and reversible.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool description states 'Insert a new table' and 'tracked insertion', indicating creation of new document structure."

## Use case

AI agents use add_table 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)
