Why save_to_fast_memory needs a policy

This tool creates or stores data (an API query) in a fast memory cache, which is a reversible write operation. It does not execute external operations, delete data, or move money. The impact is limited to local state management within the server's memory system. Severity is low because misuse would only affect cached query storage, with no downstream impact on external systems or irreversible consequences.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'save_to_fast_memory' and description 'Save an API query to Fast Memory' indicate a create/store operation that persists data to a cache or memory store.

How to control save_to_fast_memory

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and ConnectWise API Gateway MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for save_to_fast_memory:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "save_to_fast_memory": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "save_to_fast_memory_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

save_to_fast_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.
