export · Patentorney MCP: Risk & Policy

WHAT IT DOES

What export does on Patentorney

AI agents use export to create or update resources in Patentorney — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Patentorney environment.

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why export needs a policy

This tool exports patent application data (claims, drawings descriptions, etc.) in various formats. While export itself is not inherently destructive, it creates/writes output files or structured data exports. The validation aspect is read-only, but the primary function (export) modifies or creates new data artifacts.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'export' combined with description indicating "Export & validate" with operations like 'status|check|claims|drawings_description|'. Export operations typically write data to files or external formats, creating or modifying output artifacts.

Verdict

export Rate-limited

export stays usable, but capped — an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Questions about export

What does the export tool do? +

Export & validate: status|check|claims|drawings_description|. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Patentorney MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

How do I enforce a policy on export? +

Register the Patentorney MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for 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 Patentorney. Nothing to install.

What risk level is export? +

export is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.

Can I rate-limit export? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the 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.

How do I block export completely? +
