Why import_user_document needs a policy

The tool performs a Write operation by accepting user documents and integrating them into the system's storage or index. This is reversible (documents can be removed or replaced) and creates/modifies data state, making it Write rather than Read. It is not Destructive because importing is not irreversible deletion.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'import_user_document' and description 'Import user-provided learning material into the system' indicate the tool creates or modifies data by storing user documents in a system.

How to control import_user_document

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and MedAdapt Content Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for import_user_document:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "import_user_document": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "import_user_document_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

import_user_document 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.

  1. Create a free account and register MedAdapt Content Server — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
