Create and store multiple new relationships between entities in the user
AI agents use memory_create_relations 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.
The tool creates and stores new relationships, which is a reversible write operation. It doesn't retrieve data (Read), execute external commands (Execute), irreversibly delete data (Destructive), or involve financial transactions (Financial). The medium severity reflects that bulk relationship creation could impact user data organization and privacy, but relationships can typically be modified or deleted afterward.
From the tool's definition Tool name includes 'create' and description states 'Create and store multiple new relationships between entities'; this is a data creation operation that modifies user state.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access memory_create_relations gives an agent:
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_relations:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"memory_create_relations": {
"limits": [
{
"counter": "memory_create_relations_rate",
"window": "minute",
"max": 30,
"scope": "grant"
}
]
}
}
}memory_create_relations 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.

Create and store multiple new relationships between entities in the user. It is categorised as a Write tool in the VaultAssist MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
Register the VaultAssist MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for memory_create_relations: 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 VaultAssist. Nothing to install.
memory_create_relations is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the memory_create_relations 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 memory_create_relations. 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.
memory_create_relations is provided by the VaultAssist MCP server (3xcaffeine/mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
Start from VaultAssist, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
Free to start. No card required.
