What rc_import_prerc does on RC Engine

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

Why rc_import_prerc needs a policy

The tool creates or modifies project data by transforming a Pre-RC PRD into RC format and updating approval/phase states. While it advances workflow state, these are reversible operations typical of Write category. It does not execute arbitrary code (Execute), permanently delete data (Destructive), or handle financial transactions (Financial).

From the tool's definition Converts the 19-section Pre-RC PRD to 11-section RC format, auto-approves Phases 1-2, and advances to Phase 3. This modifies project data structure and state (converting formats, auto-approving phases, advancing workflow stages).

Questions about rc_import_prerc

What does the rc_import_prerc tool do? +

BRIDGE from Pre-RC to RC Method. Call after prc_synthesize completes and user wants to continue building. Converts the 19-section Pre-RC PRD to 11-section RC format, auto-approves Phases 1-2, and advances to Phase 3 (Architect). Prerequisites: pre-rc-research/ directory must exist with Gate 3 approved. After success: call rc_architect to begin technical design. Skips rc_start/rc_illuminate/rc_define since Pre-RC already covered discovery and requirements. It is categorised as a Write tool in the RC Engine MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

How do I enforce a policy on rc_import_prerc? +

Register the RC Engine MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for rc_import_prerc: 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 RC Engine. Nothing to install.

What risk level is rc_import_prerc? +

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

Can I rate-limit rc_import_prerc? +

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

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

rc_import_prerc is provided by the RC Engine MCP server (originalrashmi/rc-engine-product-framework). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
