From the tool's definition Tool name 'memory_get_record' suggests retrieval of a record from memory/storage with no modification. The description is empty, providing no specific detail about what data or system is involved.

How to control memory_get_record

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

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "memory_get_record": {}
  }
}

memory_get_record is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  1. Create a free account and register Awslabs Amazon Sns Sqs — 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.
