How to control export_project ↓

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

Medium Risk

An AI agent can call export_project faster than any human can review — one bad instruction and it creates or modifies resources in Scrivener MCP Server by the hundred, each call as confident as the last.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access export_project gives an agent:

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Scrivener MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for export_project:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "export_project": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "export_project_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

export_project stays usable, but capped — an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  1. Create a free account and register Scrivener MCP Server — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.

What does the export_project tool do? +

Export project to file. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Scrivener MCP Server MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

How do I enforce a policy on export_project? +

Register the Scrivener MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for export_project: 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 Scrivener MCP Server. Nothing to install.

What risk level is export_project? +

export_project is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.

Can I rate-limit export_project? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the export_project 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.

How do I block export_project completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for export_project. 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.

What MCP server provides export_project? +

export_project is provided by the Scrivener MCP Server MCP server (writerslogic/scrivener-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Scrivener MCP Server tool call.
