What save_search does on Enhanced Knowledge Graph Memory Server
AI agents use save_search 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 save_search is rated Medium
Saving a search query creates a new record or modifies existing query storage. This is a reversible write operation with no destructive side effects, no code execution, and no financial impact. The blast radius is minimal — a saved query cannot corrupt or delete data, only add or update query metadata. Confidence is high because the description clearly indicates data persistence without irreversible consequences.
From the tool's definition Tool description: 'Save a search query for later reuse' — this stores a search query persistently, which is a creation/modification operation.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs save_search 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 save_search, this is the rule to start with:
save_search 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 save_search call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about save_search
Save a search query for later reuse. 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 save_search: 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.
save_search 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 save_search 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 save_search. 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.
save_search 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.
