While the export itself is reversible and doesn't directly modify the source documents, the potential for misuse exists if an AI agent exports sensitive financial/receipt data to untrusted destinations or creates exports with incorrect/fraudulent data…

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "papercortex_export": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "papercortex_export_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}
