WHAT IT DOES

What memento_toggle_consolidation_scheduler does on Memento

AI agents invoke memento_toggle_consolidation_scheduler to trigger actions in Memento. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call — builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why memento_toggle_consolidation_scheduler needs a policy

This tool executes control commands over a background scheduler process. While marked deprecated, it directly manages an autonomous system component that consolidates memory in SQLite. Starting/stopping a background service constitutes process execution rather than simple data retrieval (Read) or modification (Write), as it triggers operational state changes in an external system.

From the tool's definition Tool performs 'Start or stop the automatic background memory consolidation scheduler' - a control action that triggers or halts an external background process, which is an execution of system operations whose effects depend on the argument (start vs. stop).
