What export_session_script does on Docx

AI agents use export_session_script 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.

Why export_session_script needs a policy

This tool creates or generates a new Python script file based on session operations, which is reversible (the file can be deleted or overwritten). It does not execute code, delete irreversibly, or modify the document itself—it exports a representation of operations to a new artifact. This is a Write-category operation.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'export_session_script' combined with description 'Write session operations as a Python replay script' indicates generation and persistence of code artifacts. The verb 'Write' and action of creating a script file constitute data creation.

How to control export_session_script

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Docx, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for export_session_script:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "export_session_script": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "export_session_script_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

export_session_script 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.

  1. Create a free account and register Docx — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.

How do I enforce a policy on export_session_script? +

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

What risk level is export_session_script? +

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

Can I rate-limit export_session_script? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the export_session_script 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 export_session_script completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for export_session_script. 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 export_session_script? +

Enforce policy on every Docx tool call.

Start from Docx, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
