Check if the Kova Mind API is healthy and responding.
AI agents call memory_health to retrieve information from Kova Mind MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This is a diagnostic tool that retrieves status information about an API endpoint. It performs no data modification, deletion, execution of arbitrary operations, or financial transactions. It is a simple read operation analogous to a heartbeat or ping check. The low severity reflects minimal blast radius even if an AI agent calls it repeatedly or with bad intent.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'memory_health' and description 'Check if the Kova Mind API is healthy and responding' indicate a health-check query with no side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Check if the Kova Mind API is healthy and responding. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Kova Mind MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Kova Mind MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for memory_health: 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 Kova Mind MCP Server. Nothing to install.
memory_health 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 memory_health 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 memory_health. 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.
memory_health is provided by the Kova Mind MCP Server MCP server (kovamind/mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
memory_health is one line of Kova Mind MCP Server's registry record.
The record carries the whole server: verified identity, auth posture, risk grade, every tool classified, recommended policy — re-checked continuously.
