WHAT IT DOES

What birst_import_package does on Infor Birst MCP Server

AI agents use birst_import_package to create or update resources in Infor Birst MCP Server — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Infor Birst MCP Server environment.

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why birst_import_package needs a policy

Importing a package constitutes creating or adding a package resource to the target space, which is a write operation that modifies the space's contents reversibly. It is not destructive (irreversible deletion), not financial, and not execute (does not run arbitrary code). The incomplete description prevents full certainty, but the action is clearly data modification rather than retrieval.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'birst_import_package' and description indicate it imports/copies a package from another space, which creates or adds data to the current space. Description is incomplete ('This makes the package' ends mid-sentence), reducing confidence.
