AI agents call emem_memory_token to retrieve information from emem — Earth memory protocol 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 emem_memory_token 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.

These attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access emem_memory_token gives an agent. Each links to the full case and the policy that stops it:
Other read tools across the catalogue. The same approach applies to each: allow, with a rate cap to control cost.
Compose a memt:<cell64>:<fact_cid> (or memt:<cell64>:<state_cid>) citation handle. Validates both components are non-empty and do not contain the outer separator :. When to use: Call when the agent wants a single rebindable string to cite a place + attested fact across messages, threads, or tools. The token is the recommended way for agents to pass earth-memory citations to other agents without re-fetching. Pair with emem_verify_receipt on the receiving end to verify the signed payload.. It is categorised as a Read tool in the emem — Earth memory protocol MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the emem — Earth memory protocol MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for emem_memory_token: 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 emem — Earth memory protocol. Nothing to install.
emem_memory_token is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the emem_memory_token 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 emem_memory_token. 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.
emem_memory_token is provided by the emem — Earth memory protocol MCP server (oci:ghcr.io/vortx-ai/emem:latest). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
