export_markdown · Asset Aware MCP: Risk & Policy

WHAT IT DOES

What export_markdown does on Asset Aware

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

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why export_markdown needs a policy

The 'export' prefix and markdown format target suggest the tool creates or outputs a new document representation. This is a reversible write operation (new files can be deleted or regenerated). Without description details, confidence is moderate. It does not delete data (unlike delete_document sibling), execute arbitrary code, move money, or irreversibly modify originals.

From the tool's definition Tool named 'export_markdown' with empty description. Based on naming convention and sibling tools (convert_document, convert_pdf_to_docx, convert_pdf_to_pptx), this tool likely exports/converts documents to markdown format, which creates new data artifacts.
