What it does

Sandbox DOCX is an agent skill from nodetool-ai/nodetool. Build a Word document in a Code node or CodeAct action, with docx running on the host

Its SKILL.md is about 500 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 1 other file (for example `package.json`).

It sits in Documents & Office, covering Word documents. It works with Microsoft Word. The repository describes itself as: Agent-first Creative Workspace. The licence is AGPL-3.0.

When your agent uses it

Tasks that involve Word documents

Example prompts

“/sandbox-docx”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 339f069. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are javascript).
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Sandbox DOCX loads about 501 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 25 tokens; SKILL.md has 173 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~25
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~501

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

name: sandbox-docx
description: Build a Word document in a Code node or CodeAct action, with docx running on the host

Word documents in the sandbox

Specifier: @nodetool-ai/sandbox-docx. Import it at the top of the body.

docx builds a document out of class instances (Paragraph, TextRun, Table, …) that cannot cross the guest boundary as plain data. This pack is a host module: you describe the document as a JSON element list and the host builds the real .docx bytes.

build — element list to `.docx` bytes

import { build } from "@nodetool-ai/sandbox-docx";

const bytes = await build({
  properties: { title: "Q3 Report", author: "NodeTool" },
  elements: [
    { type: "heading", text: "Q3 Report", level: 1 },
    { type: "paragraph", text: "Revenue grew 12% quarter over quarter.", bold: true },
    { type: "table", rows: [["Month", "Revenue"], ["Jul", "120k"], ["Aug", "134k"]] },
    { type: "pageBreak" },
    { type: "paragraph", text: "See appendix for methodology.", alignment: "CENTER" }
  ]
});
await workspace.writeBytes("report.docx", bytes);

Element types:

heading — text, level (1–6, default 1)
paragraph — text, alignment (LEFT/CENTER/RIGHT/JUSTIFY, default LEFT), bold, italic, fontSize (points, default 12)
table — rows, a 2D array; every cell is stringified
image — data (a Uint8Array), width/height in inches
pageBreak — no fields

properties.title/author/subject/keywords set the document's metadata.

Gotchas

build is async and returns a Uint8Array.
Writing only. To read an existing .docx, use @nodetool-ai/sandbox-mammoth instead — these are two different libraries on two different sides of the format.
Images are inches, not pixels. width/height follow docx's own convention; omit them and the image renders at a fixed placeholder size.
10 MB per image. The shared host-module input cap applies to each data field.
