Get a comprehensive project orientation in a single call. Returns the project index, recent session summaries, and recently modified entries. Use this at the START of every new coding session to immediately understand the project. This replaces the need to make 3-4 separate tool calls.

AI agents invoke context_auto_orient to trigger processes or run actions in Repomemory. 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.
context_auto_orient 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 context_auto_orient 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.

Use this at the START of every new coding session to immediately understand the project. This replaces the need to make 3-4 separate tool calls.. It is categorised as a Execute tool in the Repomemory MCP Server, which means it can trigger actions or run processes. Use rate limits and argument validation.
Register the Repomemory MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for context_auto_orient: 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 Repomemory. Nothing to install.
context_auto_orient 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 context_auto_orient 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 context_auto_orient. 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.
context_auto_orient is provided by the Repomemory MCP server (repomemory). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
