WHAT IT DOES

What remove_heuristic does on Enhanced Knowledge Graph Memory Server

AI agents call remove_heuristic to permanently remove resources in Enhanced Knowledge Graph Memory Server, typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.

RISK

Why remove_heuristic is rated Critical

An AI agent that decides to call remove_heuristic doesn't hesitate, doesn't double-check, and doesn't stop at one. Whatever it removes from Enhanced Knowledge Graph Memory Server is gone. There is no undo for destructive operations.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

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

remove_heuristic Hidden

remove_heuristic is removed from the agent's tool list entirely, so the agent never calls it. The rest of the server keeps working.
