AI agents call xbrl_export_dts to retrieve information from Arelle without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool exports/reads the DTS document map, which is a retrieval operation that generates a structured view of taxonomy documents. 'Export' here means outputting/displaying existing data rather than writing to an external system. No side effects are indicated; it queries and returns taxonomy structure information.

xbrl_export_dts 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 xbrl_export_dts 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.
