Why show_exportdetails needs a policy

This tool queries and retrieves metadata about export configurations. It has no side effects, does not modify data, does not execute exports, and does not delete or create resources. It is a read-only information retrieval operation with minimal blast radius if misused by an AI agent.

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'show_exportdetails' and description states 'Get export definition metadata including format and target' — it retrieves metadata about an export definition without modifying or executing any export operation.

POLICY

How to control show_exportdetails

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

policy.json

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

show_exportdetails 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 Anaplan MCP — nothing to install.
Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
