What get_error_patterns does on CogniRepo
AI agents call get_error_patterns to retrieve information from CogniRepo without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
Why get_error_patterns is rated Low
The tool appears to query or retrieve error pattern information from the server's persistent memory system without modifying, executing operations, or causing destructive effects.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_error_patterns' suggests retrieval of existing error data. The naming convention ('get_*') is consistent with other Read-category tools on this server (get_agent_bootstrap, get_last_context, get_session_brief).
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs get_error_patterns safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and CogniRepo, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For get_error_patterns, this is the rule to start with:
get_error_patterns is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect CogniRepo, apply this rule, and every get_error_patterns call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about get_error_patterns
get_error_patterns is a read tool on the CogniRepo MCP server. It is categorised as a Read tool in the CogniRepo MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the CogniRepo MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_error_patterns: 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 CogniRepo. Nothing to install.
get_error_patterns 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 get_error_patterns 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 get_error_patterns. 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.
get_error_patterns is provided by the CogniRepo MCP server (pypi:cognirepo). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
