Export a CDV data connection definition by its numeric ID.
AI agents call export_connection to retrieve information from Cloudera Data Visualization MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
Exporting a connection definition is a read/retrieval operation - it fetches and outputs the connection configuration. However, connection definitions may contain sensitive credentials or secrets, making misuse a medium severity risk.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Export a CDV data connection definition by its numeric ID. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Cloudera Data Visualization MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Cloudera Data Visualization MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for export_connection: 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 Cloudera Data Visualization MCP Server. Nothing to install.
export_connection is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the export_connection 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.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for export_connection. 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.
export_connection is provided by the Cloudera Data Visualization MCP Server MCP server (kevintalbert/cdv-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
