WHAT IT DOES

What move_entity does on Enhanced Knowledge Graph Memory Server

AI agents use move_entity to create or update resources in Enhanced Knowledge Graph Memory Server, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Enhanced Knowledge Graph Memory Server environment.

RISK

Why move_entity is rated Medium

This tool modifies existing data (entity relationships) in a reversible manner. While it changes the structure of the knowledge graph, it does not create new entities (beyond the relationship change), does not delete data, and does not execute arbitrary code. The scope of impact is limited to reorganizing hierarchical relationships within the memory system.

From the tool's definition The tool 'move_entity' with description 'Move an entity to a new parent' performs a modification operation on the knowledge graph structure by changing an entity's parent relationship.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

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

move_entity Rate-limited

move_entity 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.

FAQ

Questions about move_entity

What does the move_entity tool do? +

Move an entity to a new parent. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Enhanced Knowledge Graph Memory Server MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

How do I enforce a policy on move_entity? +

Register the Enhanced Knowledge Graph Memory Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for move_entity: 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.

What risk level is move_entity? +

move_entity is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.

Can I rate-limit move_entity? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the move_entity 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 move_entity completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for move_entity. 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 move_entity? +

move_entity 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.
