Why kage_memory_lineage needs a policy

The tool retrieves and returns historical lineage data about memory supersession chains. It is a read-only lookup operation with no side effects — it does not create, modify, delete, or execute anything. The audit history is kept for reference. Low severity as misuse would only expose internal memory metadata.

How to control kage_memory_lineage

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

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

kage_memory_lineage 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 Kage — 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.
