Why memory_learn needs a policy

This tool retrieves educational content about how to use the memory system. It has no side effects, does not modify or delete data, does not execute arbitrary code, and does not move money. It is purely informational, making it a Read-category tool with low severity.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'memory_learn' and description 'Learn how to use codemem memory tools. Call this first if unfamiliar.' indicates a documentation/help retrieval function that provides instructional information.

POLICY

How to control memory_learn

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

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "memory_learn": {}
  }
}

memory_learn is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Create a free account and register Codemem — nothing to install.
Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.

FAQ

Questions about memory_learn

What does the memory_learn tool do? +

Learn how to use codemem memory tools. Call this first if unfamiliar. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Codemem MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on memory_learn? +

Register the Codemem MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for memory_learn: 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 Codemem. Nothing to install.

What risk level is memory_learn? +

memory_learn is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.

Can I rate-limit memory_learn? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the memory_learn 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.

How do I block memory_learn completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for memory_learn. 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.

What MCP server provides memory_learn? +

memory_learn is provided by the Codemem MCP server (kunickiaj/codemem). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Codemem tool call.

Start from Codemem, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
