Why memory_create_entities needs a policy

This tool creates and persists new entities, which is a reversible write operation. The incomplete description ('in the user') suggests data creation within a user's workspace/account. Given the server's context (Google Workspace integration), this likely creates records in Drive, Sheets, or similar services.

From the tool's definition Tool name and description indicate it 'Create and store multiple new entities in the user' — a write operation that creates new data structures or records.

How to control memory_create_entities

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

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

memory_create_entities 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 VaultAssist — 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.
