List embedded images (mime, byte length, locator) in an HWP/HWPX file. Args: file_path.
AI agents call list_hwp_images 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 queries and retrieves information about embedded images in a document without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. It has no side effects and poses minimal risk—typical of Read category tools used for inventory or inspection purposes.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_hwp_images' and description 'List embedded images (mime, byte length, locator)' indicate retrieval of metadata about images without modification. Returns read-only information: mime type, byte length, and locator.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access list_hwp_images 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_images:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"list_hwp_images": {}
}
}list_hwp_images is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

List embedded images (mime, byte length, locator) in an HWP/HWPX file. 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_images: 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_images 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_images 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_images. 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_images 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.
