What import_from_json does on Guitar Pro

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

Why import_from_json needs a policy

This tool creates or modifies Guitar Pro file data by importing from an external JSON source. While the description is empty, the name and server context clearly indicate it performs a Write operation (reversible modification of file data). It is not Destructive because import does not delete existing data irreversibly, nor Execute/Financial/Read.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'import_from_json' indicates data import/creation functionality. Server description states it provides tools for 'modifying and saving Guitar Pro files.' Sibling tools like 'create_new_gp_song' and 'add_*' confirm this is a write-capable server.

How to control import_from_json

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

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

import_from_json 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 Guitar Pro — 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.
