Import a .brain file and extract its system prompt for use in any LLM. Can import from file path or raw JSON. Example: brain_import({ path:

AI agents use brain_import to create or modify resources in 0nmcp. Write operations carry medium risk because an autonomous agent could trigger bulk unintended modifications. Rate limits prevent a single agent session from making hundreds of changes in rapid succession. Argument validation ensures the agent passes expected values.

Without a policy, an AI agent could call brain_import repeatedly, creating or modifying resources faster than any human could review. PolicyLayer's rate limiting ensures write operations happen at a controlled pace, and argument validation catches malformed or unexpected inputs before they reach 0nmcp.

Write tools can modify data. A rate limit prevents runaway bulk operations from AI agents.

Every attack above starts with a tool call. PolicyLayer checks each one against your policy first, so brain_import only ever does what you allow.

What does the brain_import tool do? +

Import a .brain file and extract its system prompt for use in any LLM. Can import from file path or raw JSON. Example: brain_import({ path:. It is categorised as a Write tool in the 0nmcp MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

How do I enforce a policy on brain_import? +

Register the 0n MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for brain_import: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches 0nmcp. Nothing to install.

What risk level is brain_import? +

brain_import is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.

Can I rate-limit brain_import? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the brain_import rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.

How do I block brain_import completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for brain_import. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.

What MCP server provides brain_import? +

brain_import is provided by the 0n MCP server (0nmcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every 0nmcp tool call.
