## Why memory.forget is rated Critical

An AI agent that decides to call memory.forget doesn't hesitate, doesn't double-check, and doesn't stop at one. Whatever it removes from Agent Custody is gone. There is no undo for destructive operations.

## Use case

AI agents call memory.forget to permanently remove resources in Agent Custody, typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

Verdict: **Hidden**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches Agent Custody:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "hide": [
    "memory.forget"
  ]
}
```
