Find all files that contain AI metadata
AI agents call find_files_with_metadata to retrieve information from MCP Memory Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves or lists files based on metadata criteria without altering state, executing code, or triggering side effects. It is a straightforward Read operation. The server's broader purpose (persistent memory, safety controls) does not change the nature of this individual tool, which performs discovery only.
From the tool's definition Tool name and description indicate it 'Find[s] all files that contain AI metadata' — a retrieval operation with no modification, deletion, or execution capabilities.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Find all files that contain AI metadata. It is categorised as a Read tool in the MCP Memory Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the MCP Memory Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for find_files_with_metadata: 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 Server. Nothing to install.
find_files_with_metadata 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 find_files_with_metadata 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 find_files_with_metadata. 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.
find_files_with_metadata is provided by the MCP Memory Server MCP server (keleshteri/mcp-memory). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
