Export knowledge base to markdown
AI agents call export_markdown to retrieve information from Self-Improving Memory MCP without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
Exporting data to markdown is a read/retrieval operation — it reads the knowledge base and serializes it to a format, without modifying, deleting, or executing anything. The blast radius is low since misuse at worst leaks stored knowledge contents.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Export knowledge base to markdown. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Self-Improving Memory MCP MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Self-Improving Memory MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for export_markdown: 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 Self-Improving Memory MCP. Nothing to install.
export_markdown 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_markdown 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_markdown. 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_markdown is provided by the Self-Improving Memory MCP server (superpitt/self-improving-memory-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
