Find text across the entire document
AI agents call find_text_in_document to retrieve information from InDesign UXP MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool performs document search and text retrieval—a read-only operation with no side effects. It does not create, modify, delete, execute code, or move data. The blast radius of misuse is minimal: an agent could only discover unwanted text content, not alter documents or trigger external actions.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'find_text_in_document' and description 'Find text across the entire document' indicate a search/query operation that retrieves text without modifying or executing operations.

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 find_text_in_document:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"find_text_in_document": {}
}
