## Facts

- Tool: `import_data`
- Server: Project Guardian MCP (`1999azzar/project-guardian-mcp-server`) — https://policylayer.com/tools/1999azzar-project-guardian-mcp-server.md
- Homepage: https://github.com/1999AZZAR/project-guardian-mcp-server
- Risk category: Write (Medium risk)
- Registry record: grade F, identity unverified
- Server rate-limited: no
- Parameters: 0
- Recommended policy verdict: Rate-limited

## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0)

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "import_data",
    "arguments": {}
  }
}
```

## Why import_data is rated Medium

The tool writes data into a database table. While the operation is reversible (rows can be deleted or updated later), it modifies the database state. The severity is medium because uncontrolled imports could overwrite legitimate data or inject malicious records, but the damage is not irreversible like a Destructive operation and does not move money or execute arbitrary code like Execute tools.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool description states 'Import data from file into memory.db table' — this creates or modifies data in the SQLite database by ingesting external file content, a reversible write operation."

## Use case

AI agents use import_data to create or update resources in Project Guardian MCP, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Project Guardian MCP environment.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

Verdict: **Rate-limited**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches Project Guardian MCP:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "import_data": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "import_data_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}
```
