WHAT IT DOES

What suppress_numbering does on Docx

AI agents use suppress_numbering 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 suppress_numbering is rated Medium

This tool modifies document structure by removing list numbering from a paragraph. It is a reversible write operation (numbering can be restored), making it a Write category action. Misuse could alter document formatting in unintended ways, warranting medium severity.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

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

suppress_numbering Rate-limited

suppress_numbering 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.
