Append a new row to the Nth table (0-based) in an .hwpx.
AI agents use append_hwp_table_row 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.
This tool creates new data (a table row) within an HWP/HWPX document. This is a Write operation because it modifies document structure reversibly. The blast radius is medium: an agent could inadvertently bloat a document or corrupt table formatting, but the action can be undone and doesn't permanently destroy data or trigger external side effects.
From the tool's definition Tool name and description: 'Append a new row to the Nth table' — adds new content to a document table, a reversible modification.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access append_hwp_table_row 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_row:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"append_hwp_table_row": {
"limits": [
{
"counter": "append_hwp_table_row_rate",
"window": "minute",
"max": 30,
"scope": "grant"
}
]
}
}
}append_hwp_table_row 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.

Append a new row to the Nth table (0-based) in an .hwpx. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Hwp MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
Register the Hwp MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for append_hwp_table_row: 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 Hwp. Nothing to install.
append_hwp_table_row is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the append_hwp_table_row 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.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for append_hwp_table_row. 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.
append_hwp_table_row is provided by the Hwp MCP server (treesoop/hwp-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
