What audit_query does on Enhanced Knowledge Graph Memory Server
AI agents call audit_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 audit_query is rated Low
This tool only retrieves historical audit data based on specified filters. It has no side effects, does not modify or delete data, and does not execute operations. It is a pure read operation that queries an immutable audit log, making it low severity with appropriate confidence.
From the tool's definition Tool description explicitly states it 'Query[s] the audit log' with filter criteria (operation type, agent ID, entity name, date range). No modification, deletion, or execution capabilities mentioned.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs audit_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 audit_query, this is the rule to start with:
audit_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 audit_query call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about audit_query
Query the audit log for operations matching filter criteria (operation type, agent ID, entity name, date range). 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 audit_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.
audit_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 audit_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 audit_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.
audit_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.
