word_append

Documents · macOS · Windows

Effect: write (strongest supported action). Status: gated.

Gated means the tool requires an installed app, a connected account, permission, or runtime availability. Check those requirements on the listed platform before using it.

macOS

Purpose

Appends text to the end of an existing Word (.docx) document at `path`, preserving the document's existing content and formatting. Requires confirm=true — called without it, returns a preview instead of modifying the file. Same file-access rules as word_create (Desktop/Documents/Downloads may need a Files-and-Folders grant). Returns {appended, chars_appended, path}. To create a new document use word_create; to read one use word_read.

Required inputs

Permissions and confirmation

Explicit confirmation parameter: inspect the schema and tool description before any real call. The documentation example keeps confirm false. Obtain user authorization before performing the action.
