Export expenses as a CSV string.
AI agents call export_expenses to retrieve information from Expense Tracker MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool reads expense data from the local SQLite database and formats it as a CSV string. It does not modify, delete, or transmit data externally — it simply retrieves and serializes existing records. No side effects are indicated.
