## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0)

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "memory_add_observations",
    "arguments": {}

## Why memory_add_observations is rated Medium

This tool creates or modifies data in a reversible manner by appending observations to entities, which aligns with the Write category. It is not destructive (data is not deleted), not Execute (no arbitrary code or shell commands), and not Financial.

From the tool's own definition: "The tool description states it will 'Add new observations, details, or information to existing entities in the user'. The verb 'Add' and action of appending information to entities indicates data modification."

## Use case

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

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

Verdict: **Rate-limited**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches VaultAssist:

```json

  "tools": {
    "memory_add_observations": {
      "limits": [
        {

          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }

## For agents

This record is a snapshot. Live verdicts and the full registry:

- Check every server in your MCP config at once: `npx -y policylayer stack`
- Vet a server before you add it: install the mcp-precheck skill — `npx skills add https://policylayer.com` (skill text: https://policylayer.com/skill.md)
- Query the registry over MCP: endpoint `https://api.policylayer.com/mcp` — tools `check_mcp_server`, `check_mcp_stack`, `check_tool`, `search_registry`, `get_change_events`
