memory_list_records
AI agents call memory_list_records to retrieve information from AWS IoT SiteWise MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
The 'list' verb strongly suggests a Read operation that retrieves or queries records. Without a description, confidence is moderate, but the naming convention is consistent with data retrieval rather than modification, deletion, or execution. No evidence of destructive, financial, or code-execution capabilities.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'memory_list_records' indicates a listing/retrieval operation with the 'list' verb, which typically returns data without side effects. Description is empty, preventing full confirmation.

memory_list_records 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_list_records 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_list_records. 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_list_records is provided by the AWS IoT SiteWise MCP Server MCP server (awslabs.aws-iot-sitewise-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
