How to control find_and_replace_text ↓

AI agents use find_and_replace_text 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.

Medium Risk

This tool modifies document content by replacing text within a Word file. It is a reversible write operation (original text is overwritten but the document can be edited again). No code execution, deletion, or financial action is involved. Severity is medium because an AI agent could inadvertently alter important document content at scale if misused.

From the tool's definition 查找并替换文本 (find and replace text in Word document); parameters include find_text, replace_text, and save (defaults to True)

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access find_and_replace_text 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 find_and_replace_text:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "find_and_replace_text": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "find_and_replace_text_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

find_and_replace_text 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.

  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.
