Why memory_import_advanced needs a policy

Memory import operations create or modify data structures in memory storage. The mention of 'conflict resolution' indicates the tool can overwrite or transform existing data during the import process, making this a Write operation rather than a Read-only retrieval. It is not Destructive because validation and conflict resolution suggest reversible modifications.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'memory_import_advanced' combined with description 'Advanced memory import with validation and conflict resolution' indicates importing data into memory storage with modification of state through validation and conflict resolution mechanisms.

How to control memory_import_advanced

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

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

memory_import_advanced 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 Documcp — 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.

How do I enforce a policy on memory_import_advanced? +

Register the Docu MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for memory_import_advanced: 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 Documcp. Nothing to install.

What risk level is memory_import_advanced? +

memory_import_advanced is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.

Can I rate-limit memory_import_advanced? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the memory_import_advanced 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.

How do I block memory_import_advanced completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for memory_import_advanced. 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.

What MCP server provides memory_import_advanced? +

memory_import_advanced is provided by the Docu MCP server (tosin2013/documcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
