hydra_import_game · Hydra Bridge MCP: Risk & Policy

WHAT IT DOES

What hydra_import_game does on Hydra Bridge

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

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why hydra_import_game needs a policy

The tool creates new data (a game library entry) rather than merely reading or querying it. It does not delete, overwrite irreversibly, execute arbitrary code, or move money. While it takes a file path argument (the executable), the tool itself does not execute that executable — it merely registers it in the library.

From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Add a custom (non-catalogue) game to the library' — this creates a new entry in the game library, a reversible modification of application state.

hydra_import_game Rate-limited
