THE RISK

Critical Risk

Why remove_bookmark needs a policy

Removing a bookmark is an irreversible deletion of a document element. While the paragraph content is preserved, the bookmark itself cannot be recovered without an undo operation, making this Destructive. Severity is medium since it affects a discrete named element rather than bulk document content.

From the tool's definition 'Remove a bookmark by name' — permanently removes a named bookmark from the document

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access remove_bookmark gives an agent:

POLICY

How to control remove_bookmark

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 remove_bookmark:

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "hide": [
    "remove_bookmark"
  ]
}

remove_bookmark disappears from the agent's tool list entirely, and any attempt to call it is denied. The rest of the server keeps working.

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