Reports & exports: the write tools
The MCP tools that create CSV exports and manage recurring reports — request an export, schedule it, pause, edit or delete it — with the safety notes and example prompts.
When you grant it write access, a connected AI assistant can generate CSV exports and manage your recurring reports in plain language — request an export, schedule it, pause it, edit it or delete it. Here are the five write tools for Reports, and the safety notes around them.

These tools create and manage exports. They need the Reports · manage permission. Creating, updating or deleting a scheduled report previews first and asks you to confirm; pausing / resuming one is direct and reversible; a one-off export just runs. Heads-up: creating, updating or resuming a scheduled report also runs it once immediately. Files are retrieved with the read tools — no email is sent.
Create a one-off export
create-reportWritereports · manageRequests a new CSV export of your catalog, optionally filtered. It runs asynchronously — you get a report id, then download it with download-report.
searchTerm · filters (same set as search-items) · channelIds · strategyIds. All optional — omit them to export everything.Manage recurring reports
create-scheduled-reportWriteConfirmsreports · manageSets up a recurring CSV export that runs automatically — and runs it once right away.
reportName · period (DAILY / WEEKLY / MONTHLY) · optional filters (searchTerm, filters, channelIds, strategyIds).update-scheduled-reportWriteConfirmsreports · manageChanges a scheduled report's name, cadence or filters. If it's active, this also re-runs it once.
set-scheduled-report-statusWritereports · managePauses or resumes a scheduled report. Resuming runs it once immediately; pausing stops it until you resume.
delete-scheduled-reportWriteConfirmsreports · manageDeletes a scheduled report so it stops running.
Working safely
- You confirm the big changes. Creating, updating and deleting a scheduled report all preview first and wait for your yes.
- Schedules run on save. Creating, updating or resuming a scheduled report triggers a run immediately — expect a fresh file right away.
- Pause beats delete. To stop a report temporarily, pause it — it's reversible. Deleting is permanent.
- Least privilege. Prefer read-only? Connect with Reports · view and skip the manage permission — these five tools simply won't be available.
