How to control save_document_as_pdf ↓

AI agents use save_document_as_pdf 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/exports a new document artifact (PDF file) from an existing source. While it doesn't modify the original Word document, it writes a new file to the filesystem. This is reversible (the PDF can be deleted), so it falls under Write rather than Destructive.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'save_document_as_pdf' and description indicate the tool converts and saves a Word document to PDF format. The description states '将Word文档保存为PDF格式' (save Word document as PDF format). This creates a new file (PDF output) from an existing document.

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 save_document_as_pdf:

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

  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
