RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs insert_paragraph safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Docx, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For insert_paragraph, this is the rule to start with:

insert_paragraph Rate-limited

insert_paragraph 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.
