WHAT IT DOES

What import_assets does on Cutpilot

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

RISK

Why import_assets is rated Medium

An AI agent can call import_assets faster than any human can review: one bad instruction and it creates or modifies resources in Cutpilot by the hundred, each call as confident as the last.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs import_assets safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Cutpilot, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For import_assets, this is the rule to start with:

import_assets Rate-limited

import_assets 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.

LIMIT THIS TOOL → Instant setup, no code required.

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Cutpilot, apply this rule, and every import_assets call is checked against it from then on.
