How to control compare_documents ↓

AI agents call compare_documents to retrieve information from Office Editor without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Low Risk

This tool reads two documents and compares their contents, returning a diff result. It does not modify, create, or delete any data — it is purely a read/query operation. Severity is low as the worst case is reading file contents from the filesystem.

From the tool's definition 比较两个文档的内容差异 (Compare the content differences between two documents); returns a dictionary containing comparison results

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access compare_documents gives an agent:

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 compare_documents:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "compare_documents": {}
  }
}

compare_documents is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  1. Create a free account and register Office Editor — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
