AI agents use memory_remember to create or modify resources in Clarifyprompt. 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 memory_remember repeatedly, creating or modifying resources faster than any human could review. PolicyLayer's rate limiting ensures write operations happen at a controlled pace, and argument validation catches malformed or unexpected inputs before they reach Clarifyprompt.

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

These attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access memory_remember gives an agent. Each links to the full case and the policy that stops it:

Every attack above starts with a tool call. PolicyLayer checks each one against your policy first, so memory_remember only ever does what you allow.

What does the memory_remember tool do? +

Explicitly add a fact to persistent memory. Use when the user says something the engine should remember across sessions (preferences, conventions, project facts). Complements. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Clarifyprompt MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

How do I enforce a policy on memory_remember? +

Register the Clarifyprompt MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for memory_remember: 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 Clarifyprompt. Nothing to install.

What risk level is memory_remember? +

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

Can I rate-limit memory_remember? +

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

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for memory_remember. 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 memory_remember? +

memory_remember is provided by the Clarifyprompt MCP server (clarifyprompt-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Clarifyprompt tool call.
