# export_dataset

Use when a user wants to pull their saved DC Hub shortlist OUT of the platform for offline analysis, a spreadsheet, or ingestion into another tool (PRO). Example: "Export my saved sites as GeoJSON for QGIS." — export_dataset format=geojson. Params: format ("csv" default, or "geojson"). Returns: the full file contents as text — CSV rows or a GeoJSON FeatureCollection of your saved sites with DCPI score, target MW, market, coordinates, and notes. Do NOT use to list sites in-chat (use list_saved_sites) or to save a new one (use save_site); this is the bulk-download path.

- Homepage: https://github.com/azmartone67/dchub-mcp-server
- Risk category: Read (Low risk)

- Parameters: 1
- Recommended policy verdict: Allowed

## Parameters

| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `format` | string | no | Output file format: "csv" (default) or "geojson" (for GIS tools like QGIS) |

Parameters from the server's own tool schema.

## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0)

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "export_dataset",
    "arguments": {}
  }
}
```

## Why export_dataset is rated Low

The tool retrieves and exports existing saved data in a chosen format (CSV or GeoJSON). It performs a read/export operation with no side effects—it does not create, modify, delete, or trigger any external operations. It simply returns the user's saved site data as text output.

From the tool's own definition: "'pull their saved DC Hub shortlist OUT of the platform for offline analysis', 'Returns: the full file contents as text — CSV rows or a GeoJSON FeatureCollection of your saved sites'"

## Use case

AI agents call export_dataset to retrieve information from Mcp Server without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

Verdict: **Allowed**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches Mcp Server:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "export_dataset": {}
  }
}
```
