WHAT IT DOES

What set_importance does on Enhanced Knowledge Graph Memory Server

AI agents use set_importance 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 set_importance is rated Medium

This tool creates or modifies data in a knowledge graph memory system. The operation is reversible (importance scores can be updated again), affects only metadata attributes rather than core data deletion, and has no external side effects or resource expenditure. It falls clearly into Write category.

From the tool's definition Tool modifies the importance score attribute of an entity with a numeric value (0-10), which is a reversible state change to metadata.

RECOMMENDED RULE

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

set_importance Rate-limited

set_importance 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 set_importance call is checked against it from then on.

FAQ

Questions about set_importance

What does the set_importance tool do? +

Set the importance score of an entity (0-10). 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 set_importance? +

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

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

Can I rate-limit set_importance? +

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

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

set_importance 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.
