query_memory_headers
AI agents call query_memory_headers to retrieve information from Adaptive Agent without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
The tool name strongly suggests data retrieval ('query') without modification. Sibling tools on the server confirm this is a query-focused system. While the empty description limits certainty, the naming pattern aligns with other read operations in this adaptive agent system. No evidence suggests side effects or data mutation.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'query_memory_headers' contains 'query' indicating a retrieval operation. Description is empty, reducing confidence.

query_memory_headers. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Adaptive Agent MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Adaptive Agent MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for query_memory_headers: 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 Adaptive Agent. Nothing to install.
query_memory_headers 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 query_memory_headers 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 query_memory_headers. 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.
query_memory_headers is provided by the Adaptive Agent MCP server (justforever17/adaptive-agent-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
