v2.1.2 Item 29: backfill multiple historical phases at once.
AI agents use bulk_import_phases to create or update resources in Codevira MCP — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Codevira MCP environment.
This tool creates or modifies phase records in bulk, which is characteristic of Write operations. It does not delete data (ruling out Destructive), does not move money (ruling out Financial), does not execute arbitrary code (ruling out Execute), and is clearly within the scope of write operations.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'bulk_import_phases' and description 'backfill multiple historical phases at once' indicate batch creation/modification of phase data. The 'bulk_import' prefix and 'backfill' action suggest reversible data insertion into the project's knowledge base.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access bulk_import_phases gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Codevira MCP, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for bulk_import_phases:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"bulk_import_phases": {
"limits": [
{
"counter": "bulk_import_phases_rate",
"window": "minute",
"max": 30,
"scope": "grant"
}
]
}
}
}bulk_import_phases 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.

v2.1.2 Item 29: backfill multiple historical phases at once. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Codevira MCP MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
Register the Codevira MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for bulk_import_phases: 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 Codevira MCP. Nothing to install.
bulk_import_phases 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 bulk_import_phases 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 bulk_import_phases. 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.
bulk_import_phases is provided by the Codevira MCP server (sachinshelke/codevira). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
Start from Codevira MCP, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
Free to start. No card required.
