What import_from_source does on Rhylthyme MCP Server

AI agents call import_from_source to retrieve information from Rhylthyme MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Why import_from_source needs a policy

The tool fetches data from external sources (Spoonacular, TheMealDB, protocols.io) and imports it into the system. While 'import' could imply writing, the primary action is retrieving/querying external data. However, it may create/write data into the local workspace upon import, which slightly elevates severity.
