results_export_image · Flex Sensor Agent MCP: Risk & Policy

WHAT IT DOES

What results_export_image does on Flex Sensor Agent

AI agents use results_export_image to create or update resources in Flex Sensor Agent — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Flex Sensor Agent environment.

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why results_export_image needs a policy

The tool exports simulation results as image files, which creates new files on disk (Write category). This is reversible—exported files can be deleted. Severity is medium because exporting data could expose sensitive simulation details, but the operation itself is non-destructive and doesn't execute arbitrary code or affect financial systems.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'results_export_image' and server context indicate image file export functionality. Description is empty, limiting certainty.
