AI agents call memory_get 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.
This tool retrieves and queries stored memory objects without creating, modifying, or deleting data. The read-only nature, combined with its role as a follow-up lookup mechanism, places it squarely in the Read category. Severity is low because retrieval of session context data poses minimal direct risk—an AI agent cannot misuse this to cause damage beyond potentially viewing stored information.
From the tool's definition Tool description explicitly states 'Read-only' and 'Retrieve full content'. Function is to fetch memories by ID after a prior search, returning metadata and content without modification.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Retrieve full content for one or more memories by ID. Designed as a follow-up to memory_search: first search to find relevant IDs, then use memory_get to load full details. Read-only. Accepts up to 20 IDs per call. Returns an array of complete memory objects including content, type, tags, importance, timestamps, and access count. 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 memory_get: 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.
memory_get 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_get 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_get. 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_get 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.
