WHAT IT DOES

What mindmap_passport_import does on Mindmap

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

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why mindmap_passport_import needs a policy

This tool imports external data (passport files or exported conversation data) into the local mindmap system. This is a reversible data modification operation—data is being created or added to the system based on external sources. It is not destructive (data can be removed), not financial, not execute-level (no arbitrary code execution), and goes beyond simple read operations.

From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Bring context IN' and mentions importing 'Mind Map passport file' or 'exported data file', which are write operations that create or modify data in the local mindmap store.
