How to control ocr_recognize_text ↓

AI agents call ocr_recognize_text 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.

This tool performs OCR on an image file and returns the extracted text. It is a read/query operation with no side effects — it reads an image and returns data without modifying or deleting anything.

From the tool's definition 从图片中提取文本内容 (extracts text content from images); takes image_path as input and returns recognition results

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access ocr_recognize_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 ocr_recognize_text:

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

ocr_recognize_text 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.
