What remove_concept does on MegaMemory
AI agents call remove_concept to permanently remove resources in MegaMemory, typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
Why remove_concept is rated Critical
This tool modifies the accessible state of the knowledge graph in an irreversible manner (within the active graph scope). Even though historical preservation exists, the concept is deleted from active use—an agent cannot recover it for ongoing reasoning without explicit recovery actions.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'remove_concept' and description 'Soft-delete a concept from the knowledge graph' indicates deletion of data.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs remove_concept safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and MegaMemory, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For remove_concept, this is the rule to start with:
remove_concept is removed from the agent's tool list entirely, so the agent never calls it. The rest of the server keeps working.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect MegaMemory, apply this rule, and every remove_concept call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about remove_concept
Soft-delete a concept from the knowledge graph. The concept and its removal reason are preserved in history. It is categorised as a Destructive tool in the MegaMemory MCP Server, which means it can permanently delete or destroy data. Block by default and require explicit approval.
Register the MegaMemory MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for remove_concept: 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 MegaMemory. Nothing to install.
remove_concept is a Destructive tool with critical risk. Critical-risk tools should be blocked by default and only enabled with explicit human approval.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the remove_concept 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.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for remove_concept. 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.
remove_concept is provided by the MegaMemory MCP server (0xk3vin/megamemory). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
