WHAT IT DOES

What record_decision does on CogniRepo

AI agents use record_decision to create or update resources in CogniRepo, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your CogniRepo environment.

RISK

Why record_decision is rated Medium

The tool name implies writing a decision to persistent storage (consistent with the server's purpose of persistent memory and context). No description is provided, which lowers confidence. Based on sibling tools and server context (semantic memory, knowledge graph, session history), this tool most likely creates or modifies a stored record — a Write operation. It does not appear destructive, financial, or executable.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'record_decision' suggests creating/storing a decision record in persistent memory or knowledge graph.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs record_decision 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 record_decision, this is the rule to start with:

record_decision Rate-limited

record_decision 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.
