What get_memory does on RememberMe

AI agents call get_memory to retrieve information from RememberMe without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Low Risk

Why get_memory needs a policy

The tool retrieves or queries memory data without modifying, deleting, or executing external operations. This is a straightforward Read operation. Severity is low because memory retrieval has no side effects and minimal blast radius — an AI misusing this tool could only access existing memory data.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_memory' indicates retrieval of stored memory data. Context shows this server provides 'memory management' with 'semantic search' capabilities.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access get_memory gives an agent:

How to control get_memory

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

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "get_memory": {}
  }
}

get_memory is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  1. Create a free account and register RememberMe — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.

How do I enforce a policy on get_memory? +

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

What risk level is get_memory? +

get_memory is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.

Can I rate-limit get_memory? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the get_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 get_memory completely? +

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

get_memory is provided by the RememberMe MCP server (joexie/remember-me). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every RememberMe tool call.

Start from RememberMe, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.

Free to start. No card required.
