Why import_story needs a policy

Importing a story into a CMS creates or adds new content records, which is a reversible write operation. It modifies the state of the content management system by introducing new data, but the operation can typically be undone by deleting or reverting the imported story. This is less severe than destructive operations (which cannot be easily undone) and does not execute arbitrary code or move money.

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'import_story' which indicates creating or adding story content to the CMS. Sibling tools like 'add_story_to_release', 'copy_stories_between_branches', and 'backup_space' confirm this server manages content creation and modification.

How to control import_story

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Storyblok MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for import_story:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "import_story": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "import_story_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

import_story stays usable, but capped — an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  1. Create a free account and register Storyblok MCP Server — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
