THE RISK

Low Risk

Why export_session needs a policy

This tool reads and serializes existing session data into a portable format (markdown or JSON). It does not modify, delete, or create any data — it only retrieves and formats what already exists. The blast radius is low since it only exposes data already held within the session context, though it could expose sensitive project/task details if misused.

From the tool's definition Exports complete session data in markdown or JSON format. Includes projects, tasks, memories, and session activity summary.

POLICY

How to control export_session

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Memory Pickle MCP, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for export_session:

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "export_session": {}
  }
}

export_session is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Create a free account and register Memory Pickle MCP — nothing to install.
Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
