WHAT IT DOES

What promote_working_memory does on Enhanced Knowledge Graph Memory Server

AI agents use promote_working_memory 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 promote_working_memory is rated Medium

This tool creates or modifies data in a reversible manner (promotion can typically be undone by moving the entry back or deleting it from long-term storage). It does not execute arbitrary code, delete data irreversibly, or move money.

From the tool's definition Tool 'promote_working_memory' modifies persistent storage by moving or copying a memory entry from working memory to 'long-term episodic or semantic storage'. The description explicitly indicates data modification that persists.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

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

promote_working_memory Rate-limited

promote_working_memory 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.

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Enhanced Knowledge Graph Memory Server, apply this rule, and every promote_working_memory call is checked against it from then on.

FAQ

Questions about promote_working_memory

What does the promote_working_memory tool do? +

Promote a working memory entry to long-term episodic or semantic storage. 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 promote_working_memory? +

Register the Enhanced Knowledge Graph Memory Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for promote_working_memory: 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 promote_working_memory? +

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

Can I rate-limit promote_working_memory? +

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

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

promote_working_memory 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.
