What export_report does on Memory Shell Detector MCP

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

Medium Risk

Why export_report needs a policy

Based on the tool name alone, 'export_report' likely generates and writes a report file to disk. In the context of a memory shell detector, this would be a Write operation (creating a report file). However, with no description available, confidence is low. Severity is medium because exporting reports could potentially expose sensitive system scan data or be written to unintended locations.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'export_report'; description is empty and uninformative.

How to control export_report

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Memory Shell Detector MCP, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for export_report:

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

export_report 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.

  1. Create a free account and register Memory Shell Detector MCP — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
