AI agents invoke chainmemory_recall to trigger processes or run actions in Chainmemory. 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.
chainmemory_recall can trigger processes with real-world consequences. An uncontrolled agent might start dozens of builds, send mass notifications, or kick off expensive compute jobs. PolicyLayer 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.

These attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access chainmemory_recall gives an agent. Each links to the full case and the policy that stops it:
Other execute tools across the catalogue. The same approach applies to each: rate-limit and validate the arguments.
Recall the user's recent memories (most recent first). Returns plaintext for the owning user. Use at conversation start to provide context continuity.. It is categorised as a Execute tool in the Chainmemory MCP Server, which means it can trigger actions or run processes. Use rate limits and argument validation.
Register the Chainmemory MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for chainmemory_recall: 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 Chainmemory. Nothing to install.
chainmemory_recall is a Execute tool with high risk. Execute tools should be rate-limited and have argument validation enabled.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the chainmemory_recall 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 chainmemory_recall. 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.
chainmemory_recall is provided by the Chainmemory MCP server (chainmemory-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
