[Diagnostics] Export diagnostics. Optionally filter by component names.
AI agents call diagnostics_export to retrieve information from CyPerf MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
Exporting diagnostics is a read operation that retrieves diagnostic data from the system without modifying or deleting anything. The export operation collects and outputs existing system information. Severity is low as it primarily exposes system diagnostic data, though it could potentially reveal sensitive configuration or performance information.

[Diagnostics] Export diagnostics. Optionally filter by component names. It is categorised as a Read tool in the CyPerf MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the CyPerf MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for diagnostics_export: 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 CyPerf MCP Server. Nothing to install.
diagnostics_export 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 diagnostics_export 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 diagnostics_export. 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.
diagnostics_export is provided by the CyPerf MCP Server MCP server (keysight/cyperf-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
