WHAT IT DOES

What vikunja_batch_import does on Vikunja MCP Server

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

RISK

Why vikunja_batch_import is rated Medium

This tool creates or modifies data (tasks) in a reversible manner, fitting the Write category. Severity is high because bulk imports can affect many tasks simultaneously and incorrect data could corrupt task state, though the damage is reversible. The dry-run support mentioned slightly mitigates risk but does not change the primary effect when executed without dry-run.

From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Import tasks in bulk from CSV or JSON formats' - import operations create or modify data (tasks) in the Vikunja instance. The bulk nature and file-based input increase the blast radius.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs vikunja_batch_import safely

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

vikunja_batch_import Rate-limited

vikunja_batch_import 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.
