What export_knowledge_markdown does on Metis Public Health

Why export_knowledge_markdown is rated Low
The tool name implies a read/export operation — retrieving stored knowledge and formatting it as Markdown. No description is provided, which lowers confidence. Given the server context (local-first research companion with indexed PDFs and memory), this likely reads internal knowledge structures and exports them.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'export_knowledge_markdown' and empty description. The name suggests reading/exporting existing knowledge data into Markdown format.
