AI agents call graph_explore to retrieve information from Claude Session Continuity without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
The tool explicitly states it is read-only and only retrieves/traverses graph data without any side effects. It returns connected memories with their metadata but does not modify anything.
From the tool's definition 'Traverse the knowledge graph from a starting memory using depth-first search. Returns all connected memories... Read-only.'
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Traverse the knowledge graph from a starting memory using depth-first search. Returns all connected memories up to the specified depth, with their relation types, strengths, and directions. Read-only. Supports filtering by relation type and traversal direction. Use memory_related instead for a combined graph+semantic approach; use graph_connect to add new edges. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Claude Session Continuity MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Claude Session Continuity MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for graph_explore: 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 Claude Session Continuity. Nothing to install.
graph_explore 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 graph_explore 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 graph_explore. 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.
graph_explore is provided by the Claude Session Continuity MCP server (leesgit/claude-session-continuity-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
