Parses a meeting transcript (VTT, SRT, TXT, or MD) and extracts structured data: participants, topics, decisions, action items, raw requirements, constraints, and open questions. Supports Teams, Zoom, Google Meet, and Otter.ai transcripts.
AI agents use sdd_import_transcript to create or update resources in Specky — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Specky environment.
While the tool primarily reads transcript files as input, its purpose is to write and persist extracted structured data into the specification system. It creates new data objects (requirements, action items, etc.) that become part of the project artifact pipeline, making it a Write operation.
From the tool's definition The tool 'extracts structured data' and 'parses' meeting transcripts to create new structured artifacts (participants, topics, decisions, action items, requirements, constraints, questions).
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access sdd_import_transcript gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Specky, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for sdd_import_transcript:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"sdd_import_transcript": {
"limits": [
{
"counter": "sdd_import_transcript_rate",
"window": "minute",
"max": 30,
"scope": "grant"
}
]
}
}
}sdd_import_transcript stays usable, but capped — an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Parses a meeting transcript (VTT, SRT, TXT, or MD) and extracts structured data: participants, topics, decisions, action items, raw requirements, constraints, and open questions. Supports Teams, Zoom, Google Meet, and Otter.ai transcripts. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Specky MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
Register the Specky MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for sdd_import_transcript: 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 Specky. Nothing to install.
sdd_import_transcript 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 sdd_import_transcript 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 sdd_import_transcript. 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.
sdd_import_transcript is provided by the Specky MCP server (paulasilvatech/specky). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
Start from Specky, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
