What memory_export does on Agent Memory

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

Why memory_export needs a policy

This tool reads and exports memory data as JSON. It performs no modifications, deletions, or executions. However, severity is medium because it can exfiltrate all stored memories (potentially sensitive information) across namespaces in bulk.
