Part of the Gateway server.

search_memory_facts is read-only, but an agent in a loop can still rack up calls and cost. PolicyLayer caps every call before it runs. Live in minutes.

AI agents call search_memory_facts to retrieve information from Gateway without modifying any data. This is common in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows where the agent needs context before taking action. Because read operations don't change state, they are generally safe to allow without restrictions -- but you may still want rate limits to control API costs.

Even though search_memory_facts only reads data, uncontrolled read access can leak sensitive information or rack up API costs. An agent caught in a retry loop could make thousands of calls per minute. A rate limit gives you a safety net without blocking legitimate use.

Read-only tools are safe to allow by default. No rate limit needed unless you want to control costs.

Every attack above starts with a tool call. PolicyLayer checks each one against your policy first, so search_memory_facts only ever does what you allow.

What does the search_memory_facts tool do? +

Search extracted memory facts by topic or entity name. No LLM needed — pure SQL lookup against pre-extracted facts. Returns entries with topics, entities, action_items, and summary.. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Gateway MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on search_memory_facts? +

Register the Gateway MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for search_memory_facts: 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 Gateway. Nothing to install.

What risk level is search_memory_facts? +

search_memory_facts is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.

Can I rate-limit search_memory_facts? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the search_memory_facts 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.

How do I block search_memory_facts completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for search_memory_facts. 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.

What MCP server provides search_memory_facts? +

search_memory_facts is provided by the Gateway MCP server (https://agent.wingmanprotocol.com/mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Gateway tool call.
