promote_import_batch · ComplyOS MCP: Risk & Policy

WHAT IT DOES

What promote_import_batch does on ComplyOS

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

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why promote_import_batch needs a policy

Based on the name alone, 'promote' suggests moving data to a higher environment or status, and 'import_batch' indicates bulk data ingestion. Within a compliance auditing system, this likely creates or modifies records (Write category). Without descriptive details, we cannot confirm if the operation is destructive or executes arbitrary code.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'promote_import_batch' indicates a reversible data modification operation (promote/import/batch). The empty description provides no additional context to assess whether this could be destructive or execute code.
