AI agents use import_plan to create or update resources in Unfold It MCP Server — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Unfold It MCP Server environment.
The tool creates a new goal object by importing an external plan and optionally enriches it with AI-generated metadata (dependencies, duration estimates, etc.). This is a data creation/modification action with no irreversible effects—the imported plan can be subsequently modified or deleted (as evidenced by the sibling delete_goal tool). It does not execute arbitrary code, delete data, or move financial resources.
From the tool's definition Tool description states it 'Import a pre-formulated plan with steps and substeps into Unfold' and 'Returns the goal with a claim link and the enriched step list', indicating it creates or modifies goal data structures reversibly.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Import a pre-formulated plan with steps and substeps into Unfold. Skips clarification entirely. Use this when you already have a structured plan (e.g. from Jira, Linear, or your own planning tool). Optionally enriches steps with AI-generated metadata: dependencies between steps, critical path identification, duration estimates, severity/complexity ratings, and quick-win flags. Set enrich=false to skip AI enrichment (0 credits). Returns the goal with a claim link and the enriched step list. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Unfold It MCP Server MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
Register the Unfold It MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for import_plan: 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 Unfold It MCP Server. Nothing to install.
import_plan 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 import_plan 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 import_plan. 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.
import_plan is provided by the Unfold It MCP Server MCP server (unfold-it/unfoldit-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
