Get actions that should be taken after modifying a file
AI agents call get_modification_actions 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 information about what actions *should* be taken—it queries workflow or approval guidance without executing those actions or modifying any data. It is purely informational and advisory in nature. The low severity reflects minimal blast radius: misuse would at worst retrieve irrelevant guidance without causing data loss or unintended side effects.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_modification_actions' and description 'Get actions that should be taken after modifying a file' indicate retrieval of pre-defined action guidance.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get actions that should be taken after modifying a file. 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 get_modification_actions: 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.
get_modification_actions 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 get_modification_actions 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 get_modification_actions. 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.
get_modification_actions 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.
