WHAT IT DOES

What export_document does on Revit MCP Server

AI agents use export_document to create or update resources in Revit MCP Server, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Revit MCP Server environment.

RISK

Why export_document is rated Medium

The tool exports a Revit document, which involves writing/creating output files. While export itself does not modify the original document or delete data, it creates new file artifacts and can affect downstream systems. This is Write rather than Read because it generates/commits new data outputs.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'export_document' indicates it outputs/extracts document data. No description provided. On a Revit MCP server, document export typically saves/writes data in new formats without deletion.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs export_document safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Revit MCP Server, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For export_document, this is the rule to start with:

export_document Rate-limited

export_document 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 Revit MCP Server, apply this rule, and every export_document call is checked against it from then on.
