What refine_procedure does on Enhanced Knowledge Graph Memory Server
AI agents use refine_procedure 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 refine_procedure is rated Medium
This tool updates statistical fields on an existing procedure record (executionCount, successRate). It is a reversible modification of stored data, making it a Write operation. No code is executed, no data is deleted, and no financial transaction occurs. Severity is medium because misuse could corrupt procedure performance metrics, potentially degrading the adaptive memory system's decision-making.
From the tool's definition 'Increments executionCount and updates successRate via EWMA' — modifies stored procedure metadata (execution count, success rate) in the knowledge graph
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs refine_procedure 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 refine_procedure, this is the rule to start with:
refine_procedure 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 refine_procedure call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about refine_procedure
3B.4 \u2014 Apply caller feedback after a procedure execution. Increments executionCount and updates successRate via EWMA (\u03B1=0.2). 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 refine_procedure: 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.
refine_procedure 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 refine_procedure 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 refine_procedure. 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.
refine_procedure 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.
