What record_heuristic_contradiction does on Enhanced Knowledge Graph Memory Server
AI agents use record_heuristic_contradiction 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.
Why record_heuristic_contradiction is rated Medium
This tool modifies existing heuristic data by incrementing a contradiction counter and reducing a confidence score. These are reversible numeric updates to stored knowledge graph records — no deletion, no code execution, no financial action. The OCC (Optimistic Concurrency Control) protection confirms it's a write operation on persistent state.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs record_heuristic_contradiction 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 record_heuristic_contradiction, this is the rule to start with:
record_heuristic_contradiction 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 record_heuristic_contradiction call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about record_heuristic_contradiction
v2.1.0 \u2014 Record a counter-example: bumps contradictions; lowers confidence (new = old - old*0.2). OCC-protected. 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.
Register the Enhanced Knowledge Graph Memory Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for record_heuristic_contradiction: 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.
record_heuristic_contradiction is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the record_heuristic_contradiction 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 record_heuristic_contradiction. 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.
record_heuristic_contradiction 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.
