List memories in the workspace with cursor pagination. Useful for review/debug; prefer memory_search for retrieval.
AI agents call memory_list to retrieve information from LedgerMem MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool queries and enumerates existing memories without creating, modifying, or deleting any data. It has no irreversible effects and no ability to execute operations or move money. The pagination pattern and review-oriented use case are typical of read operations. Low severity because memory listing poses minimal risk—it only exposes information already stored and accessible to the client.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'memory_list' and description 'List memories in the workspace with cursor pagination' indicates retrieval of stored data.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
List memories in the workspace with cursor pagination. Useful for review/debug; prefer memory_search for retrieval. It is categorised as a Read tool in the LedgerMem MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the LedgerMem MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for memory_list: 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 LedgerMem MCP Server. Nothing to install.
memory_list 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_list 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_list. 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_list is provided by the LedgerMem MCP Server MCP server (ledgermem/getmnemo-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
