Import GIFT-formatted questions into a quiz. Creates the questions in a bank category and appends them to the quiz slots by default. Idempotent (plugin dedupes by question name within the category).
AI agents use importar_gift to create or update resources in Moodle — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Moodle environment.
This tool creates new quiz questions and modifies quiz structure by appending questions to slots. These are Write-category operations because they create and modify data reversibly—questions can be removed or edited afterward. The severity is medium because while quiz manipulation affects educational assessment, the impact is limited to a single quiz's question bank and slots, not system-wide.
From the tool's definition Tool description states it 'Import[s] GIFT-formatted questions into a quiz' and 'Creates the questions in a bank category and appends them to the quiz slots', indicating reversible data creation and modification of quiz content.

Register the Moodle MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for importar_gift: 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 Moodle. Nothing to install.
importar_gift is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the importar_gift 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.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for importar_gift. 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.
