Medium Risk

goodmem_configure

Configure GoodMem server connection. Call this before using other GoodMem tools if GOODMEM_BASE_URL and GOODMEM_API_KEY environment variables are not set. Session credentials override environment variables.

Accepts URL/endpoint input (base_url); Handles credentials or secrets (api_key)

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

AI agents use goodmem_configure to create or modify resources in Goodmem. Write operations carry medium risk because an autonomous agent could trigger bulk unintended modifications. Rate limits prevent a single agent session from making hundreds of changes in rapid succession. Argument validation ensures the agent passes expected values.

Without a policy, an AI agent could call goodmem_configure repeatedly, creating or modifying resources faster than any human could review. Intercept's rate limiting ensures write operations happen at a controlled pace, and argument validation catches malformed or unexpected inputs before they reach Goodmem.

Write tools can modify data. A rate limit prevents runaway bulk operations from AI agents.

What does the goodmem_configure tool do? +

Configure GoodMem server connection. Call this before using other GoodMem tools if GOODMEM_BASE_URL and GOODMEM_API_KEY environment variables are not set. Session credentials override environment variables.. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Goodmem MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

How do I enforce a policy on goodmem_configure? +

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

What risk level is goodmem_configure? +

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

Can I rate-limit goodmem_configure? +

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

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

goodmem_configure is provided by the Goodmem MCP server (@pairsystems/goodmem-mcp). Intercept sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
