Export all observations as JSON for backup or sharing.
AI agents call mem_export to retrieve information from Qontinui MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
The tool exports/reads existing observations into JSON format. This is a read/retrieval operation with no side effects - it does not modify, delete, or execute anything. It simply formats and outputs existing data for backup or sharing purposes.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Export all observations as JSON for backup or sharing. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Qontinui MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Qontinui MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for mem_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 Qontinui MCP Server. Nothing to install.
mem_export 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 mem_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.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for mem_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.
mem_export is provided by the Qontinui MCP Server MCP server (qontinui/qontinui-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
