ori_explore

Deep memory exploration via PPR graph traversal. Propagates through wiki-links

Part of the Ori Memory server.

ori_explore is read-only, but an agent in a loop can still rack up calls and cost. PolicyLayer caps every call before it runs. Live in minutes.

AI agents call ori_explore to retrieve information from Ori Memory without modifying any data. This is common in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows where the agent needs context before taking action. Because read operations don't change state, they are generally safe to allow without restrictions -- but you may still want rate limits to control API costs.

Even though ori_explore only reads data, uncontrolled read access can leak sensitive information or rack up API costs. An agent caught in a retry loop could make thousands of calls per minute. A rate limit gives you a safety net without blocking legitimate use.

Read-only tools are safe to allow by default. No rate limit needed unless you want to control costs.

These attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access ori_explore gives an agent. Each links to the full case and the policy that stops it:

Every attack above starts with a tool call. PolicyLayer checks each one against your policy first, so ori_explore only ever does what you allow.

What does the ori_explore tool do? +

Deep memory exploration via PPR graph traversal. Propagates through wiki-links. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Ori Memory MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on ori_explore? +

Register the Ori Memory MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for ori_explore: 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 Ori Memory. Nothing to install.

What risk level is ori_explore? +

ori_explore is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.

Can I rate-limit ori_explore? +

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

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

ori_explore is provided by the Ori Memory MCP server (ori-memory). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Ori Memory tool call.
