# set_document_protection Set document protection. edit: trackedChanges/comments/readOnly/forms/none. Agent View of the PolicyLayer registry record for `set_document_protection`. HTML page: https://policylayer.com/tools/securityronin-docx-mcp/set-document-protection ## Facts - Tool: `set_document_protection` - Server: Docx (`securityronin/docx-mcp`) — https://policylayer.com/tools/securityronin-docx-mcp.md - Homepage: https://github.com/SecurityRonin/docx-mcp - Risk category: Write (Medium risk) - Registry record: grade F, identity unverified - Server rate-limited: no - Parameters: 0 - Recommended policy verdict: Rate-limited ## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0) ```json { "jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": 1, "method": "tools/call", "params": { "name": "set_document_protection", "arguments": {} } } ``` ## Why set_document_protection is rated Medium The tool creates or modifies document protection settings reversibly—protection can be added, removed, or changed. This is a Write operation (modification without deletion). Severity is medium because while it affects document security posture and could restrict legitimate access or hide modifications, the changes are reversible and don't destroy data or move money. From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'set_document_protection' with description indicating it sets protection modes including 'trackedChanges/comments/readOnly/forms/none'. This modifies document metadata and access controls." ## Use case AI agents use set_document_protection 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. ## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer) Verdict: **Rate-limited**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches Docx: ```json { "version": "1", "default": "deny", "tools": { "set_document_protection": { "limits": [ { "counter": "set_document_protection_rate", "window": "minute", "max": 30, "scope": "grant" } ] } } } ``` ## Other tools on Docx (218) - `delete_column_from_table` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/securityronin-docx-mcp/delete-column-from-table.md - `delete_comment` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/securityronin-docx-mcp/delete-comment.md - `delete_content_control` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/securityronin-docx-mcp/delete-content-control.md - `delete_custom_property` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/securityronin-docx-mcp/delete-custom-property.md - `delete_endnote` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/securityronin-docx-mcp/delete-endnote.md - `delete_field` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/securityronin-docx-mcp/delete-field.md - `delete_footer` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/securityronin-docx-mcp/delete-footer.md - `delete_footnote` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/securityronin-docx-mcp/delete-footnote.md - `delete_header` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/securityronin-docx-mcp/delete-header.md - `delete_image` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/securityronin-docx-mcp/delete-image.md - `delete_paragraph` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/securityronin-docx-mcp/delete-paragraph.md - `delete_section_break` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/securityronin-docx-mcp/delete-section-break.md - `delete_style` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/securityronin-docx-mcp/delete-style.md - `delete_table` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/securityronin-docx-mcp/delete-table.md - `delete_table_row` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/securityronin-docx-mcp/delete-table-row.md - `delete_text` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/securityronin-docx-mcp/delete-text.md - `flatten_document` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/securityronin-docx-mcp/flatten-document.md - `remove_bookmark` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/securityronin-docx-mcp/remove-bookmark.md - `remove_watermark` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/securityronin-docx-mcp/remove-watermark.md - `scrub_pii` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/securityronin-docx-mcp/scrub-pii.md - `compare_documents` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/securityronin-docx-mcp/compare-documents.md - `xpath_query` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/securityronin-docx-mcp/xpath-query.md - `audit_document` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/securityronin-docx-mcp/audit-document.md - `check_accessibility` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/securityronin-docx-mcp/check-accessibility.md - `compare_contracts` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/securityronin-docx-mcp/compare-contracts.md - `diff_to_text` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/securityronin-docx-mcp/diff-to-text.md - `export_markdown` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/securityronin-docx-mcp/export-markdown.md - `generate_change_summary` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/securityronin-docx-mcp/generate-change-summary.md - `get_alt_text` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/securityronin-docx-mcp/get-alt-text.md - `get_body_text` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/securityronin-docx-mcp/get-body-text.md - …and 188 more: https://policylayer.com/tools/securityronin-docx-mcp.md ## For agents This record is a snapshot.
