What search_memories does on RememberMe

AI agents call search_memories 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.

Why search_memories needs a policy

The tool's name and context within a memory management system with semantic search capabilities indicate this performs data retrieval. Despite the empty description, the functional pattern of sibling tools and the server's stated search feature strongly suggest read-only semantics. No evidence of modification, deletion, execution, or financial impact.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'search_memories' indicates a query/search operation. The server description emphasizes 'semantic search' as a core function, and the sibling tools include add/delete/update/get_memory, suggesting this tool performs retrieval without modification.

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

How to control search_memories

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 search_memories:

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

search_memories 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.
