WHAT IT DOES

What record_error does on CogniRepo

AI agents use record_error 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_error is rated Medium

The name 'record_error' implies creating or storing an error entry in persistent memory or knowledge graph (consistent with the server's purpose of persistent memory and context). This is likely a Write operation. However, the empty description significantly lowers confidence.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'record_error' suggests writing/storing an error record; description is empty and uninformative.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

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

record_error Rate-limited

record_error 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.
