Why export_result needs a policy

This tool reads/exports a previously stored result in a specific format (CSV or JSON). It retrieves existing data and converts it to a different format - no data is created, modified, or deleted. The operation is purely a read/export of already-stored results.

From the tool's definition Export a stored result by result_id to CSV or JSON

How to control export_result

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

policy.json

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

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