Part of the Devbox MCP server. Enforce policies on this tool with Intercept, the open-source MCP proxy.

devbox-mcp-server Execute Risk 4/5

AI agents invoke devbox_memory to trigger processes or run actions in Devbox. Execute operations can have side effects beyond the immediate call -- triggering builds, sending notifications, or starting workflows. Rate limits and argument validation are essential to prevent runaway execution.

devbox_memory can trigger processes with real-world consequences. An uncontrolled agent might start dozens of builds, send mass notifications, or kick off expensive compute jobs. Intercept enforces rate limits and validates arguments to keep execution within safe bounds.

Execute tools trigger processes. Rate-limit and validate arguments to prevent unintended side effects.

What does the devbox_memory tool do? +

Project memory for agents. action: search | store | bootstrap | bootstrap_status. search: semantic retrieval. store: add a memory. bootstrap: start phased scan (docs→config→code) to build memories. bootstrap_status: check bootstrap progress.. It is categorised as a Execute tool in the Devbox MCP Server, which means it can trigger actions or run processes. Use rate limits and argument validation.

How do I enforce a policy on devbox_memory? +

Add a rule in your Intercept YAML policy under the tools section for devbox_memory. You can allow, deny, rate-limit, or validate arguments. Then run Intercept as a proxy in front of the Devbox MCP server.

What risk level is devbox_memory? +

devbox_memory is a Execute tool with high risk. Execute tools should be rate-limited and have argument validation enabled.

Can I rate-limit devbox_memory? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the devbox_memory rule in your Intercept 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 devbox_memory completely? +

Set action: deny in the Intercept policy for devbox_memory. 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 devbox_memory? +

devbox_memory is provided by the Devbox MCP server (devbox-mcp-server). Intercept sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
