What create_relations does on MCP Memory LibSQL

AI agents use create_relations to create or update resources in MCP Memory LibSQL — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your MCP Memory LibSQL environment.

Medium Risk

Why create_relations needs a policy

The tool creates or establishes new relationships between entities in the knowledge graph, which is a reversible modification of data. It does not delete data (hence not Destructive), does not execute arbitrary code (hence not Execute), and does not involve financial transactions.

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'create_relations' and description states 'Create relations between entities'. This creates/establishes new relationships in a persistent memory system backed by libSQL.

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

How to control create_relations

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

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

create_relations 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.

  1. Create a free account and register MCP Memory LibSQL — 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 create_relations? +

Register the MCP Memory LibSQL MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for create_relations: 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 MCP Memory LibSQL. Nothing to install.

What risk level is create_relations? +

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

Can I rate-limit create_relations? +

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

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

create_relations is provided by the MCP Memory LibSQL MCP server (joleyline/mcp-memory-libsql). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
