Export the current canvas as a PNG image.
AI agents call export_png to retrieve information from tldraw MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool reads the current state of the canvas and exports it as a PNG image. It is a non-destructive read operation that retrieves a visual representation of the canvas without modifying any data.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Export the current canvas as a PNG image. It is categorised as a Read tool in the tldraw MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the tldraw MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for export_png: 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 tldraw MCP Server. Nothing to install.
export_png 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 export_png 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 export_png. 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.
export_png is provided by the tldraw MCP Server MCP server (mihai-codes/tldraw-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
