export_tree
AI agents call export_tree to retrieve information from Navisworks Viewpoints without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
The name 'export_tree' suggests reading/exporting a tree structure (likely a viewpoint or folder hierarchy) from the Navisworks viewpoint XML files. This is most consistent with a Read operation. However, the empty description lowers confidence significantly — 'export' could also imply writing output to disk.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'export_tree' and empty description; inferred from server context about managing Navisworks viewpoint XML files
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
export_tree. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Navisworks Viewpoints MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Navisworks Viewpoints MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for export_tree: 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 Navisworks Viewpoints. Nothing to install.
export_tree 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_tree 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_tree. 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_tree is provided by the Navisworks Viewpoints MCP server (mikhalchankasm/navisworks-viewpoints-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
