What generate_privilege_log does on Docx

AI agents use generate_privilege_log 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 generate_privilege_log needs a policy

The tool creates (generates) a new DOCX document, which is a reversible Write operation. While it does not directly modify existing documents or delete data, it creates new files.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'generate_privilege_log' and description 'Generate a privilege log DOCX from document metadata' indicate creation of a new document from metadata. This is a write operation that modifies the file system by creating a new file.

How to control generate_privilege_log

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 generate_privilege_log:

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

generate_privilege_log 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.
