What export_cloudflow_flow does on Doit
AI agents use export_cloudflow_flow to create or update resources in Doit, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Doit environment.
| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
flowId | string | Yes | |
customerContext | string | — | Scope the request to a specific customer by ID. Required for DoiT employees (whose token isn't tied to a single customer); omit for direct customer users. |
includeVariableValues | boolean | — |
Parameters from the server's own tool schema.
Why export_cloudflow_flow is rated Medium
An AI agent can call export_cloudflow_flow faster than any human can review: one bad instruction and it creates or modifies resources in Doit by the hundred, each call as confident as the last.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs export_cloudflow_flow safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Doit, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For export_cloudflow_flow, this is the rule to start with:
export_cloudflow_flow 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 Doit, apply this rule, and every export_cloudflow_flow call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about export_cloudflow_flow
Manage CloudFlow. Serializes the flow — plus every flow it references through subflow nodes — into a tenant-neutral, credential-free JSON bundle that can be imported into any tenant with the import operation. Tenant-scoped references (connections, Datastore tables, global variables) are declared as named requirements and rebound at import time; policy and Slack-channel references cannot travel and are recorded as unsupported references. The bundle never contains credentials, tenant identifiers, schedules, or execution state. codeNode: JavaScript (default) uses $nodes["<node name>"] and $variables; Python uses nodes and variables. Upstream values are lists. A top-level return produces {message: value}; no return gives JS {} / Python {message: null}. Bare input is not injected; accessing it as upstream data fails the node. A schema (JSON Schema string) is required. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Doit MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
export_cloudflow_flow accepts 3 parameters: flowId, customerContext, includeVariableValues. Required: flowId. The full parameter table on this page comes from the server's own tool schema.
Register the Doit MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for export_cloudflow_flow: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Doit. Nothing to install.
export_cloudflow_flow is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the export_cloudflow_flow rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for export_cloudflow_flow. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.
export_cloudflow_flow is provided by the Doit MCP server (@doitintl/doit-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
