Create a hyperlink in the document
AI agents use create_document_hyperlink to create or update resources in InDesign UXP MCP Server — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your InDesign UXP MCP Server environment.
This tool creates new hyperlink objects, which is a reversible modification of document content (Write category). Severity is medium because: (1) hyperlinks are document metadata/interactive elements, not core destructive operations; (2) misuse could embed malicious links or deface documents, but the effect is correctable by deletion; (3) it affects only the document itself, not external systems or financial assets.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'create_document_hyperlink' and description 'Create a hyperlink in the document' indicate creation of new content within an InDesign document.

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and InDesign UXP MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for create_document_hyperlink:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"create_document_hyperlink": {
"limits": [
{
"counter": "create_document_hyperlink_rate",
"window": "minute",
"max": 30,
"scope": "grant"
}
]
}
}
}create_document_hyperlink 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.

Create a hyperlink in the document. It is categorised as a Write tool in the InDesign UXP MCP Server MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
Register the InDesign UXP MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for create_document_hyperlink: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches InDesign UXP MCP Server. Nothing to install.
create_document_hyperlink is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the create_document_hyperlink rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for create_document_hyperlink. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.
create_document_hyperlink is provided by the InDesign UXP MCP Server MCP server (theloniuser/indesign-uxp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
