Medium Risk

export_document

Export a generated compliance document to PDF or DOCX. Fetches the document by ID, sends it to the export endpoint, and saves the file to ~/Downloads. Returns the file path. The document must have generated sections (use get_generation_status to verify completion first).

Part of the Conformy server.

export_document can modify Conformy data, with no limits today. PolicyLayer puts allow, deny, and rate-limit rules on every call. Live in minutes.

AI agents use export_document to create or modify resources in Conformy. Write operations carry medium risk because an autonomous agent could trigger bulk unintended modifications. Rate limits prevent a single agent session from making hundreds of changes in rapid succession. Argument validation ensures the agent passes expected values.

Without a policy, an AI agent could call export_document repeatedly, creating or modifying resources faster than any human could review. PolicyLayer's rate limiting ensures write operations happen at a controlled pace, and argument validation catches malformed or unexpected inputs before they reach Conformy.

Write tools can modify data. A rate limit prevents runaway bulk operations from AI agents.

Every attack above starts with a tool call. PolicyLayer checks each one against your policy first, so export_document only ever does what you allow.

What does the export_document tool do? +

Export a generated compliance document to PDF or DOCX. Fetches the document by ID, sends it to the export endpoint, and saves the file to ~/Downloads. Returns the file path. The document must have generated sections (use get_generation_status to verify completion first).. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Conformy MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

How do I enforce a policy on export_document? +

Register the Conformy MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for export_document: 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 Conformy. Nothing to install.

What risk level is export_document? +

export_document is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.

Can I rate-limit export_document? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the export_document 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.

How do I block export_document completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for export_document. 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.

What MCP server provides export_document? +

export_document is provided by the Conformy MCP server (@conformy/mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Conformy tool call.
