WHAT IT DOES

What import_datasource does on Logicmonitor

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

RISK

Why import_datasource is rated Medium

An AI agent can call import_datasource faster than any human can review: one bad instruction and it creates or modifies resources in Logicmonitor by the hundred, each call as confident as the last.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs import_datasource safely

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

import_datasource Rate-limited

import_datasource 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.

          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

LIMIT THIS TOOL → Instant setup, no code required.

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Logicmonitor, apply this rule, and every import_datasource call is checked against it from then on.
