import_stories

Import stories into a project from a structured payload (Epic 12 import format). Pass merge: true to add stories to epics that already exist (otherwise duplicates return 409). For large payloads, use payload_path to read JSON from disk instead of passing it inline.

import_stories can modify Loopctl data, with no limits today. PolicyLayer puts allow, deny, and rate-limit rules on every call. Live in minutes.

AI agents use import_stories to create or modify resources in Loopctl. 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 import_stories 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 Loopctl.

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

These attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access import_stories gives an agent. Each links to the full case and the policy that stops it:

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

What does the import_stories tool do? +

Import stories into a project from a structured payload (Epic 12 import format). Pass merge: true to add stories to epics that already exist (otherwise duplicates return 409). For large payloads, use payload_path to read JSON from disk instead of passing it inline.. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Loopctl MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

How do I enforce a policy on import_stories? +

Register the Loopctl MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for import_stories: 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 Loopctl. Nothing to install.

What risk level is import_stories? +

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

Can I rate-limit import_stories? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the import_stories 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 import_stories completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for import_stories. 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 import_stories? +

import_stories is provided by the Loopctl MCP server (loopctl-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Loopctl tool call.
