docx

Instructions for creating, reading, editing, and analyzing Microsoft Word documents in the .docx format. It covers document text, headings, formatting, tables of contents, page numbers, and related document structure.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect, read, create, export, unpack, edit, or repack .docx files, including professional documents with headings, tables of contents, page numbers, or letterheads.
Why use it?
It provides a defined way to work with Word files without guessing how their formatting and internal structure should be handled.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

docx scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Origin

This is a copy

73% identical to docx — 192 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

DOCX creation, editing, and analysis

Tool-First Workflow

Use the Document tool for ALL operations. Do NOT use Python scripts unless you need features the tool doesn't have.

Available Document tool actions

Task Tool call
Inspect metadata Document { action: "inspect", file_path: "doc.docx" }
Read text content Document { action: "read_text", file_path: "doc.docx" }
Extract headings Document { action: "extract_headings", file_path: "doc.docx" }
Extract HTML Document { action: "extract_html", file_path: "doc.docx" }
Export as plain text Document { action: "export_text", file_path: "doc.docx", output_path: "out.txt" }
Create new document Document { action: "create", output_path: "doc.docx", content: {...} }
Unpack for XML editing Document { action: "unpack", file_path: "doc.docx", output_path: "unpacked/" }
Repack after editing Document { action: "pack", file_path: "unpacked/", output_path: "output.docx" }

Creating a new document

Document { action: "create", output_path: "report.docx", content: {
  "title": "Quarterly Report",
  "sections": [
    {
      "heading": "Executive Summary",
      "paragraphs": ["Revenue grew 15% YoY.", {"text": "Key highlight", "bold": true}]
    },
    {
      "heading": "Financial Data",
      "table": [["Metric", "Q1", "Q2"], ["Revenue", "100k", "115k"], ["Costs", "80k", "85k"]]
    }
  ]
}}

Editing an existing document

Document { action: "unpack", file_path: "template.docx", output_path: "/tmp/unpacked/" }
# → Edit XML files in /tmp/unpacked/word/document.xml with the Edit tool
Document { action: "pack", file_path: "/tmp/unpacked/", output_path: "output.docx" }

When to fall back to Python/Bash

  • Converting legacy .doc → .docx (requires LibreOffice)
  • Accepting tracked changes (requires LibreOffice macro)
  • XML validation against OOXML schemas
  • Adding comments with commentsExtended/commentsIds (complex XML)

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
