How to control reorder_slides ↓

AI agents use reorder_slides 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 creates or modifies data in a reversible manner (reordering slides can be undone). It does not execute arbitrary code, delete data irreversibly, or involve financial transactions. The operation is contained within a single document and has limited blast radius. Classified as Write with low severity due to the minor, easily-reversible nature of slide reordering.

From the tool's definition Tool description states it 'adjusts the order of slides in a PowerPoint presentation' by moving a slide from one position to another. The parameters indicate reordering operations: slide_index and new_position.

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

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

reorder_slides 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.

It is categorised as a Write tool in the Office Editor MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

How do I enforce a policy on reorder_slides? +

Register the Office Editor MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for reorder_slides: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Office Editor. Nothing to install.

What risk level is reorder_slides? +

reorder_slides is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.

Can I rate-limit reorder_slides? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the reorder_slides rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.

How do I block reorder_slides completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for reorder_slides. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.

What MCP server provides reorder_slides? +

reorder_slides is provided by the Office Editor MCP server (thewdy/office-editor-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Office Editor tool call.
