WHAT IT DOES

What import_level does on Ice Puzzle

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

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why import_level needs a policy

This tool reads JSON data and writes it into the level system, creating or loading a level. It is reversible (can be undone by clearing or deleting the level), making it a Write operation rather than Destructive. The severity is low because importing a level is a normal design operation with no irreversible consequences or external impacts.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'import_level' and description 'Import a level from PuzzleData JSON' indicates creation or modification of level data from external JSON input

import_level Rate-limited

import_level 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.
