Get structured info for a single table by zero-based index.
AI agents call get_table to retrieve information from Docx without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves and returns structured information about a table by its index position. It performs a query operation with no capability to modify, execute, delete, or move funds. The action is purely informational and read-only, making it a Read category tool with low severity.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_table' and description 'Get structured info for a single table by zero-based index' indicate retrieval of existing table data with no modification or side effects.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access get_table gives an agent:
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 get_table:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"get_table": {}
}
}get_table is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Get structured info for a single table by zero-based index. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Docx MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Docx MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_table: 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.
get_table is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the get_table 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.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for get_table. 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.
get_table is provided by the Docx MCP server (securityronin/docx-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
Start from Docx, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
Free to start. No card required.
