store_memory

Store a message, fact, or conversation snippet in the agent

Part of the Clawvault server.

store_memory 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 store_memory to retrieve information from Clawvault 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 store_memory 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 store_memory 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 store_memory only ever does what you allow.

What does the store_memory tool do? +

Store a message, fact, or conversation snippet in the agent. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Clawvault MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on store_memory? +

Register the Clawvault MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for store_memory: 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 Clawvault. Nothing to install.

What risk level is store_memory? +

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

Can I rate-limit store_memory? +

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

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for store_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 store_memory? +

store_memory is provided by the Clawvault MCP server (clawvault-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Clawvault tool call.
