WHAT IT DOES

What import_media does on Aos

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

RISK

Why import_media is rated Medium

This tool creates new entries in the media pool by importing files, modifying the project state reversibly. While it doesn't execute code or delete data, it does alter the project by adding media assets. The severity is medium because misuse could add unwanted or malicious media files to a project, potentially affecting downstream edits or distributing inappropriate content, but the action is reversible by deletion.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'import_media' and description 'Import media files into the current media pool folder' indicate creation/addition of media assets to a project.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs import_media safely

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

import_media Rate-limited

import_media 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.
