Retrieve a full GDPR-compliant data export for an account — every workflow execution, captured image URL, extracted field, decision, and audit log. Use to fulfil a Subject Access Request.
AI agents call retrieve_data_export to retrieve information from Mcp Ap2 without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
Although the tool returns extensive sensitive personal and operational data (images, decisions, audit logs), the core action is retrieval with no side effects. This qualifies as Read. Severity is high because the data export includes complete account history and personal information; misuse by an AI agent could expose significant amounts of sensitive data, though no irreversible damage or financial impact occurs.
From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Retrieve' and 'Use to fulfil a Subject Access Request' — no modification or deletion occurs. The tool retrieves comprehensive account data including audit logs and workflow history.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access retrieve_data_export gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Mcp Ap2, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for retrieve_data_export:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"retrieve_data_export": {}
}
}retrieve_data_export is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Retrieve a full GDPR-compliant data export for an account — every workflow execution, captured image URL, extracted field, decision, and audit log. Use to fulfil a Subject Access Request. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Mcp Ap2 MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Mcp Ap2 MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for retrieve_data_export: 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 Mcp Ap2. Nothing to install.
retrieve_data_export is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the retrieve_data_export 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 retrieve_data_export. 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.
retrieve_data_export is provided by the Mcp Ap2 MCP server (@codespar/mcp-ap2). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
Start from Mcp Ap2, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
