## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0)

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",

    "name": "copy_document",
    "arguments": {}

## Why copy_document is rated Medium

This tool creates new data (a document copy) reversibly without destroying the original or executing arbitrary code. While it writes to the filesystem, it does not execute external commands, delete data, or commit financial transactions.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool creates a new document file by copying the currently open document to a new path. The description explicitly states 'Save a complete snapshot of the open document to a new path', indicating file creation/duplication rather than reading or destructive…"

## Use case

AI agents use copy_document 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": {
    "copy_document": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "copy_document_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
