What recorder_export does on Claude Mobile

Why recorder_export is rated Medium

This is a Write operation because it produces new data artifacts that can be stored or used elsewhere. It does not delete anything (not Destructive), does not move money (not Financial), does not execute code/commands directly (not Execute—it merely exports recorded data), and is reversible.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs recorder_export safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Claude Mobile, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For recorder_export, this is the rule to start with:
recorder_export 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.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Claude Mobile, apply this rule, and every recorder_export call is checked against it from then on.
