WHAT IT DOES

What import_records does on Sanka MCP Server

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

RISK

Why import_records is rated Medium

This tool creates new records via bulk import operations, which is a reversible data modification. While powerful and potentially high-impact (especially given the sibling tools like activate_invoice and approve_payroll_run suggest financial/operational systems), the import itself is not destructive or irreversible.

From the tool's definition 'Create a public import job' indicates the tool creates data records in bulk. The description mentions 'item CSV imports' and references to 'HubSpot Deal ids', suggesting it writes/creates business records at scale.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs import_records safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Sanka MCP Server, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For import_records, this is the rule to start with:

import_records Rate-limited

import_records 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.
