What export_to_text does on CLIO Adios
AI agents use export_to_text to create or update resources in CLIO Adios, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your CLIO Adios environment.
Why export_to_text is rated Medium
The tool exports data to a new text file, which is a write operation that creates or modifies data reversibly. It does not delete data (not Destructive), execute arbitrary code (not Execute), or involve financial transactions (not Financial).
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'export_to_text' and description states it 'Export[s] log entries to plain text format.' This creates a new file/data artifact.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs export_to_text safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and CLIO Adios, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For export_to_text, this is the rule to start with:
export_to_text 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 CLIO Adios, apply this rule, and every export_to_text call is checked against it from then on.

export_to_text 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_to_text 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.
