# crow_search_memories

Search persistent memory using full-text search (and semantic search when available). Returns memories ranked by relevance; if no memory contains every query word, automatically broadens to memories containing any query word before reporting no results. Use this to recall information from previous sessions.

## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0)

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "crow_search_memories",
    "arguments": {}
  }
}
```

## Why crow_search_memories is rated Low

Even though crow_search_memories only reads data, uncontrolled read access leaks sensitive information and racks up API costs: an agent caught in a retry loop can make thousands of calls a minute without anyone noticing.

Risk signals: Bulk/mass operation — affects multiple targets

## Use case

AI agents call crow_search_memories to retrieve information from Crow without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

Verdict: **Allowed**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches Crow:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "crow_search_memories": {}
  }
}
```
