WHAT IT DOES

What add_session_memory does on Livepilot

AI agents use add_session_memory to create or update resources in Livepilot, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Livepilot environment.

RISK

Why add_session_memory is rated Medium

This tool creates/stores data (Write category) but operates on ephemeral session state that is lost when the session ends, limiting persistence and blast radius. It does not execute external commands, delete data irreversibly, or cause financial impact. Severity is low because session memory modifications are reversible and scoped to the current session only.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'add_session_memory' and description 'Add an ephemeral session memory entry' indicate a CREATE operation that writes data to a temporary, in-session storage mechanism.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs add_session_memory safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Livepilot, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For add_session_memory, this is the rule to start with:

add_session_memory Rate-limited

add_session_memory stays usable, but capped: an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

LIMIT THIS TOOL → Instant setup, no code required.

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Livepilot, apply this rule, and every add_session_memory call is checked against it from then on.

Can I rate-limit add_session_memory? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the add_session_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 add_session_memory completely? +
