chenxiaofie-memory-mcp Write Risk 3/5

AI agents use Project-level to create or modify resources in Chenxiaofie Memory. 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 Project-level 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 Chenxiaofie Memory.

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

What does the Project-level tool do? +

Store project-level memory in project directory. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Chenxiaofie Memory MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

How do I enforce a policy on Project-level? +

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

What risk level is Project-level? +

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

Can I rate-limit Project-level? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the Project-level 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 Project-level completely? +

Set action: deny in the Intercept policy for Project-level. 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 Project-level? +

Project-level is provided by the Chenxiaofie Memory MCP server (chenxiaofie-memory-mcp). Intercept sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
