Automated excerpt
It is turning foreign tool metadata into something reviewable: provenance and version kept intact, network/filesystem/secret needs mapped to explicit permissions, and hooks left off until someone approves them. Read the server or skill manifest, list every tool action, note undeclared filesystem or network reach, and reject or mark unsupported anything you cannot map. Running imports through the same validator and permission model as native packages only helps if unmappable authority fails closed and compatibility status stays visible (native, wrapped, partial, rejected).
