Why insert_pie_chart needs a policy

Inserting a pie chart is a reversible modification that creates new visual content within a document. It is not destructive (the action can be undone), not financial, not an arbitrary execution, and not merely a read operation. This fits the Write category: creates or modifies data reversibly.

From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Insert a native pie chart', indicating creation of new content within a Word document.

How to control insert_pie_chart

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 insert_pie_chart:

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

insert_pie_chart 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.
