WHAT IT DOES

What import_templates does on instantKOM MCP Server

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

RISK

Why import_templates is rated Medium

This tool creates or adds template records to the instantKOM platform, which is a reversible write operation. It does not delete data (would be Destructive), execute arbitrary code (would be Execute), or move money (would be Financial). The moderate severity reflects that bulk template imports could affect system configuration and messaging capabilities, but the operation is reversible by deleting imported templates.

From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Import templates from JSON data' which creates new template records in the system. The return of 'imported count, skipped duplicates, and errors' indicates data creation/insertion operations.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs import_templates 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_templates, this is the rule to start with:

import_templates Rate-limited

import_templates 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.
