What export_memories does on Cognio

Why export_memories is rated Low
This tool reads and serializes existing memory data into an export format (JSON or Markdown). It does not modify, delete, or create data — it only retrieves and formats it. However, severity is medium because exporting all memories could expose sensitive long-term context and conversation history stored in the semantic memory system.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs export_memories safely

export_memories is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
