Why import_tags is rated Medium
This tool creates or adds new tag records to the instantKOM platform from JSON input. While reversible (tags can be deleted), it modifies system state by introducing new data entities. It does not delete or execute arbitrary code, so Write is the appropriate category.
From the tool's definition The tool description states 'Import tags from JSON data' which involves creating/adding new tags to the system based on provided data. The return of 'imported count' confirms data is being written/created.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs import_tags safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and instantKOM MCP Server, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For import_tags, this is the rule to start with:
import_tags 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 instantKOM MCP Server, apply this rule, and every import_tags call is checked against it from then on.
