Medium Risk

agent_memory_set

Store a value in your agent's persistent encrypted memory. Values survive across sessions. Supports string, json, number, boolean types with optional TTL.

Handles credentials or secrets (api_key)

Part of the Voidly MCP server. Enforce policies on this tool with Intercept, the open-source MCP proxy.

@voidly/mcp-server Write Risk 3/5

AI agents use agent_memory_set to create or modify resources in Voidly. 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 agent_memory_set 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 Voidly.

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

What does the agent_memory_set tool do? +

Store a value in your agent's persistent encrypted memory. Values survive across sessions. Supports string, json, number, boolean types with optional TTL.. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Voidly MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

How do I enforce a policy on agent_memory_set? +

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

What risk level is agent_memory_set? +

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

Can I rate-limit agent_memory_set? +

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

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

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