yapi_import_data · YAPI MCP Server MCP: Risk & Policy

WHAT IT DOES

What yapi_import_data does on YAPI MCP Server

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

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why yapi_import_data needs a policy

This tool imports/uploads interface data into YAPI, which creates or modifies existing documentation records. This is a Write operation (data creation/modification with reversible effects) rather than Destructive (no deletion or irreversible overwriting stated), Execute (not arbitrary code execution), or Read (actively modifies state).

From the tool's definition Tool name 'yapi_import_data' with description '导入接口数据到 YAPI' (Import interface data to YAPI) indicates data creation/modification. The sibling tools include yapi_interface_add, yapi_interface_save, and yapi_interface_up, all of which are Write operations.
