What analyze_query does on Enhanced Knowledge Graph Memory Server
AI agents call analyze_query to retrieve information from Enhanced Knowledge Graph Memory Server without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
Why analyze_query is rated Low
The analyze_query tool performs information extraction and analysis on query metadata without modifying data, executing code, or affecting external systems. It is a read-only operation that prepares for subsequent searches. The low severity reflects that misuse would only lead to incorrect query interpretation without data loss or side effects.
From the tool's definition Tool analyzes and extracts information from a search query (entities, temporal references, question type, complexity) for understanding structure before searching. No modification, deletion, or execution of external systems occurs.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs analyze_query safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Enhanced Knowledge Graph Memory Server, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For analyze_query, this is the rule to start with:
analyze_query 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 Enhanced Knowledge Graph Memory Server, apply this rule, and every analyze_query call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about analyze_query
Analyze a search query to extract entities, temporal references, question type, and complexity. Useful for understanding query structure before searching. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Enhanced Knowledge Graph Memory Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Enhanced Knowledge Graph Memory Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for analyze_query: 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 Enhanced Knowledge Graph Memory Server. Nothing to install.
analyze_query 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 analyze_query 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 analyze_query. 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.
analyze_query is provided by the Enhanced Knowledge Graph Memory Server MCP server (danielsimonjr/memory-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
