What export_database does on FastAPI MCP Template

AI agents call export_database to retrieve information from FastAPI MCP Template without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Why export_database needs a policy

This tool reads and exports the entire database contents as JSON. It is a read/query operation with no side effects — it retrieves data rather than modifying or deleting it. However, it carries medium severity because it exposes the full database contents in one operation, which could lead to bulk data exfiltration if misused by an AI agent.
