What resource_set_import_settings does on Breakpoint
AI agents use resource_set_import_settings to create or update resources in Breakpoint, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Breakpoint environment.
| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
path | string | Yes | Asset res:// path |
confirm | boolean | — | Skip the confirmation prompt (auto-approve) |
reimport | boolean | — | Reimport after writing (default true) |
settings | object | Yes | Import params to set (name -> JSON scalar or __type__-tagged Variant) |
Parameters from the server's own tool schema.
Why resource_set_import_settings is rated Medium
An AI agent can call resource_set_import_settings faster than any human can review: one bad instruction and it creates or modifies resources in Breakpoint by the hundred, each call as confident as the last.

The rule that runs resource_set_import_settings safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Breakpoint, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For resource_set_import_settings, this is the rule to start with:
resource_set_import_settings 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.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Breakpoint, apply this rule, and every resource_set_import_settings call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about resource_set_import_settings
Update import parameters in an asset's .import metadata and trigger a reimport. DESTRUCTIVE (rewrites metadata + reimports) — gated by confirmation. Errors not_found when the path is not a file, not_imported when the file has no .import sidecar. settings echoes every key set; changed lists only those whose stored value actually moved, so a no-op is distinguishable from a real edit. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Breakpoint MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
resource_set_import_settings accepts 4 parameters: path, confirm, reimport, settings. Required: path, settings. The full parameter table on this page comes from the server's own tool schema.
Register the Breakpoint MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for resource_set_import_settings: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Breakpoint. Nothing to install.
resource_set_import_settings is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the resource_set_import_settings rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for resource_set_import_settings. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.
resource_set_import_settings is provided by the Breakpoint MCP server (breakpoint-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
