WHAT IT DOES

What export_report_data does on ServiceNow-MCP

AI agents call export_report_data to retrieve information from ServiceNow-MCP without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

RISK

Why export_report_data is rated Low

The tool reads and exports data from ServiceNow tables in JSON format. It has no write, execute, or destructive side effects — it only retrieves data. Severity is medium because exporting raw table data could expose sensitive information (e.g., incident details, CMDB records, user data) to external systems, representing a data exfiltration risk if misused.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs export_report_data safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and ServiceNow-MCP, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For export_report_data, this is the rule to start with:

export_report_data Allowed

export_report_data is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  }
}

ALLOW ONLY THIS TOOL → Instant setup, no code required.

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect ServiceNow-MCP, apply this rule, and every export_report_data call is checked against it from then on.
