How to control append_hwp_table_column ↓

AI agents use append_hwp_table_column to create or update resources in Hwp — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Hwp environment.

Medium Risk

This tool creates and modifies document content (appending a table column) in a reversible manner. It does not delete data (which would be Destructive), execute arbitrary code (which would be Execute), or handle financial transactions (which would be Financial).

From the tool's definition Tool name 'append_hwp_table_column' and description 'Append a new column to the Nth table in an .hwpx' indicate creation and modification of document structure.

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

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Hwp, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for append_hwp_table_column:

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

append_hwp_table_column 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 Hwp — 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.
