export_quickapp · HC3 MCP Server MCP: Risk & Policy

WHAT IT DOES

What export_quickapp does on HC3 MCP Server

AI agents use export_quickapp to create or update resources in HC3 MCP Server — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your HC3 MCP Server environment.

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why export_quickapp needs a policy

The tool creates and writes a file artifact (.fqa) that persists in the system, which is a reversible modification operation. While exporting data (read-like behavior), the primary action is generating and writing output to a file format. This is reversible—the exported file can be deleted.

From the tool's definition Tool exports a QuickApp to .fqa file format with options for open source or encrypted output. This is file creation/generation that modifies the system state by producing a new artifact.
