AI agents call export_privacy_subject to retrieve information from ComplyOS without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
The tool exports (reads/retrieves) subject data associated with a privacy request. While it is fundamentally a read/retrieval operation, it involves potentially sensitive personal data tied to privacy requests, raising the severity to medium. The word 'export' suggests data is being extracted and potentially transmitted outside the system, but there is no indication of modification, deletion, or financial impact.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Export subject data for a scoped privacy request. It is categorised as a Read tool in the ComplyOS MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the ComplyOS MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for export_privacy_subject: 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 ComplyOS. Nothing to install.
export_privacy_subject 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_privacy_subject 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_privacy_subject. 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_privacy_subject is provided by the ComplyOS MCP server (simongonzalezdc/complyos). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
export_privacy_subject is one line of ComplyOS's registry record.
The record carries the whole server: verified identity, auth posture, risk grade, every tool classified, recommended policy — re-checked continuously.
