What delimit_memory_index does on Delimit
AI agents call delimit_memory_index to retrieve information from Delimit without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
Why delimit_memory_index is rated Low
The name implies a read-only operation that indexes (catalogs or retrieves) memory records. Without a description, confidence is reduced; however, 'index' generally denotes lookup/retrieval operations rather than modification, deletion, or execution. In the context of a workspace memory system, indexing likely supports querying or listing memory records.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'delimit_memory_index' suggests indexing or retrieving memory data. The 'index' operation typically retrieves or catalogs information without modifying it.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs delimit_memory_index safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Delimit, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For delimit_memory_index, this is the rule to start with:
delimit_memory_index is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Delimit, apply this rule, and every delimit_memory_index call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about delimit_memory_index
delimit_memory_index is a read tool on the Delimit MCP server. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Delimit MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Delimit MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for delimit_memory_index: 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 Delimit. Nothing to install.
delimit_memory_index is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the delimit_memory_index 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 delimit_memory_index. 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.
delimit_memory_index is provided by the Delimit MCP server (delimit-cli). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
