WHAT IT DOES

What get_memory does on Cognio

AI agents call get_memory to retrieve information from Cognio without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

RISK

Why get_memory is rated Low

This tool retrieves and displays existing memory content by ID with no side effects, data modification, deletion, or external execution. It is a straightforward read operation on persistent semantic memory storage, posing minimal security risk when accessed by an AI agent.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_memory' and description 'Get a single memory by ID to view its full content' explicitly indicate data retrieval without modification. The verb 'view' and context of reading a specific memory confirm a read-only operation.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs get_memory safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Cognio, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For get_memory, this is the rule to start with:

get_memory Allowed

get_memory is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

View as policy code

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "get_memory": {}
  }
}

ALLOW ONLY THIS TOOL → Instant setup, no code required.

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Cognio, apply this rule, and every get_memory call is checked against it from then on.
