Export raw table data as structured JSON for use in external reports
AI agents call export_report_data to retrieve information from ServiceNow-MCP without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
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.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Export raw table data as structured JSON for use in external reports. It is categorised as a Read tool in the ServiceNow-MCP MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the ServiceNow- MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for export_report_data: 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 ServiceNow-MCP. Nothing to install.
export_report_data 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_report_data 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_report_data. 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_report_data is provided by the ServiceNow- MCP server (tedorigawa001/servicenow-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
