memory_get_record
AI agents call memory_get_record to retrieve information from Awslabs Valkey without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
Despite the empty description, the naming convention 'get_record' strongly suggests a retrieval operation that queries data without side effects. In the context of a Valkey/MemoryDB server (in-memory data store), 'get' operations retrieve cached values. This is a Read operation with low severity because it does not modify, execute code, delete data, or involve financial transactions.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'memory_get_record' indicates retrieval of a record from memory/cache storage (MemoryDB/Valkey). The 'get' operation is characteristic of read-only data access patterns.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
memory_get_record. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Awslabs Valkey MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Awslabs Valkey MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for memory_get_record: 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 Awslabs Valkey. Nothing to install.
memory_get_record is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the memory_get_record 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_get_record. 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_get_record is provided by the Awslabs Valkey MCP server (awslabs.valkey-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
