knowledge_export

Export all knowledge articles as a ZIP archive. Because ZIP binary cannot be returned as MCP content, this tool returns a curl command you can run directly to download the archive.

Part of the Loopctl server.

knowledge_export can modify Loopctl data, with no limits today. PolicyLayer puts allow, deny, and rate-limit rules on every call. Live in minutes.

AI agents use knowledge_export to create or modify resources in Loopctl. Write operations carry medium risk because an autonomous agent could trigger bulk unintended modifications. Rate limits prevent a single agent session from making hundreds of changes in rapid succession. Argument validation ensures the agent passes expected values.

Without a policy, an AI agent could call knowledge_export repeatedly, creating or modifying resources faster than any human could review. PolicyLayer's rate limiting ensures write operations happen at a controlled pace, and argument validation catches malformed or unexpected inputs before they reach Loopctl.

Write tools can modify data. A rate limit prevents runaway bulk operations from AI agents.

Every attack above starts with a tool call. PolicyLayer checks each one against your policy first, so knowledge_export only ever does what you allow.

What does the knowledge_export tool do? +

Export all knowledge articles as a ZIP archive. Because ZIP binary cannot be returned as MCP content, this tool returns a curl command you can run directly to download the archive.. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Loopctl MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

How do I enforce a policy on knowledge_export? +

Register the Loopctl MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for knowledge_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 Loopctl. Nothing to install.

What risk level is knowledge_export? +

knowledge_export is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.

Can I rate-limit knowledge_export? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the knowledge_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.

How do I block knowledge_export completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for knowledge_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.

What MCP server provides knowledge_export? +

knowledge_export is provided by the Loopctl MCP server (loopctl-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Loopctl tool call.
