export_to_pdf · Advanced HWP MCP Server MCP: Risk & Policy

WHAT IT DOES

What export_to_pdf does on Advanced HWP MCP Server

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

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why export_to_pdf needs a policy

Exporting to PDF creates or writes a new file output without destroying or modifying the original HWP document, classifying it as Write rather than Read (which would be passive querying). It is reversible and does not permanently alter or delete data. Severity is medium because unintended PDF exports could expose document contents or fill storage, but the impact is typically contained and non-destructive.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'export_to_pdf' with description stating it exports the current document to PDF format. This creates a new file artifact (the PDF export) based on the current document state.
