List ZIP entries under BinData/ inside an .hwpx (image and binary attachments). Useful before replace_hwp_image. Args: file_path.
AI agents call list_hwp_bindata to retrieve information from Hwp without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool only lists or queries the contents of binary data within an HWPX file without modifying, deleting, or executing anything. It is a straightforward read operation analogous to directory listing or metadata retrieval, carrying minimal security risk. The low blast radius (information disclosure limited to file structure) and read-only nature justify 'low' severity.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_hwp_bindata' and description 'List ZIP entries under BinData/' indicate a retrieval/query operation. The description explicitly states it is 'Useful before replace_hwp_image', positioning it as a preparatory read operation with no side effects.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access list_hwp_bindata 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 list_hwp_bindata:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"list_hwp_bindata": {}
}
}list_hwp_bindata is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

List ZIP entries under BinData/ inside an .hwpx (image and binary attachments). Useful before replace_hwp_image. Args: file_path. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Hwp MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Hwp MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for list_hwp_bindata: 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.
list_hwp_bindata is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the list_hwp_bindata 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 list_hwp_bindata. 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.
list_hwp_bindata 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.
