@memoryx/codegraph-mcp Read Risk 2/5

AI agents call codegraph_memory_search to retrieve information from Codegraph 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 codegraph_memory_search 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.

What does the codegraph_memory_search tool do? +

Searches memories with hybrid BM25 + semantic + graph proximity. USE WHEN: recalling past knowledge — previous debugging sessions, architectural decisions, known issues. ALWAYS SEARCH before starting complex tasks. Returns results array (id, title, content, kind, score, tags, created_at) sorted by relevance. Filter with kinds (debug_context, architectural_decision, known_issue, convention, project_context), tags, or codeContext (node IDs for proximity boosting). Set currentOnly=false to include invalidated memories.. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Codegraph MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on codegraph_memory_search? +

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

What risk level is codegraph_memory_search? +

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

Can I rate-limit codegraph_memory_search? +

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

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

codegraph_memory_search is provided by the Codegraph MCP server (@memoryx/codegraph-mcp). Intercept sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
