WHAT IT DOES

What set_page_orientation does on Docx

AI agents use set_page_orientation 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.

RISK

Why set_page_orientation is rated Medium

The tool modifies document properties (page orientation) but does not delete data, execute arbitrary code, or create financial obligations. It is reversible—page orientation can be changed back. This fits the Write category (creates or modifies data reversibly).

From the tool's definition Tool name 'set_page_orientation' and description 'Set page orientation, swapping width/height dimensions if needed' indicate modification of document layout properties. This is a reversible change to document formatting/structure.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs set_page_orientation 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 set_page_orientation, this is the rule to start with:

set_page_orientation Rate-limited

set_page_orientation 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.
