Hi, Toolset isn't designed to read RSS feeds or import content directly by contacting another database. WordPress isn't set up to do this either, so you'll get the best results from a third-party plugin that is specifically made for importing content from another site's database using some kind of feed. Try searching the WordPress plugin repository for RSS Feed import plugins. I can provide any information you need about how Toolset's posts, taxonomy terms, and custom fields are stored in the database.
