AI agents use add_header_footer to create or update resources in Office Editor — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Office Editor environment.
This tool creates or modifies document content (headers/footers) in a reversible manner. It does not delete data irreversibly, execute arbitrary code, move money, or query without side effects. The modification is reversible by editing or removing headers/footers.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'add_header_footer' and description indicate it modifies Word documents by adding or updating headers and footers. The function accepts file_path, header_text, footer_text, and page_numbers parameters to alter document structure.

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