What supersede_decision does on Enhanced Knowledge Graph Memory Server
AI agents use supersede_decision 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 supersede_decision is rated Medium
This tool modifies the state of an existing decision record by marking it as superseded. It changes a status/relationship within the knowledge graph but does not delete or irreversibly destroy data — the original decision record presumably remains with an updated status. This is a reversible metadata modification, placing it in the Write category.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs supersede_decision 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 supersede_decision, this is the rule to start with:
supersede_decision 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 supersede_decision call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about supersede_decision
v2.1.0 \u2014 Mark an accepted decision as superseded by another. illegal-transition when target is not accepted. not-found when target or replacement is missing. 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 supersede_decision: 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.
supersede_decision 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 supersede_decision 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 supersede_decision. 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.
supersede_decision 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.
