Get memory statistics: total beliefs, energy levels, status counts.
AI agents call memory_stats to retrieve information from Semantic Mesh Memory (SEM) MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool queries and returns statistical information about the memory system state. It performs no creation, modification, deletion, or execution of external operations. The operation is purely observational and read-only, making it a Read category tool with low severity risk since an AI agent cannot misuse it to cause harm—it can only view statistics.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'memory_stats' and description 'Get memory statistics' indicate a retrieval operation that returns aggregate counts and metrics (total beliefs, energy levels, status counts) with no modification or side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get memory statistics: total beliefs, energy levels, status counts. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Semantic Mesh Memory (SEM) MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Semantic Mesh Memory (SEM) MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for memory_stats: 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 Semantic Mesh Memory (SEM) MCP Server. Nothing to install.
memory_stats 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 memory_stats 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 memory_stats. 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.
memory_stats is provided by the Semantic Mesh Memory (SEM) MCP Server MCP server (jordancoin/sem-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
