search_memories
AI agents call search_memories to retrieve information from Memory Bridge without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
The tool name 'search_memories' clearly suggests querying or retrieving memory data without modifying it. Given the context of a memory-sharing system and sibling tools that are predominantly read-oriented or administrative, this tool most likely performs a search/filter operation on shared memories. No destructive, executable, or financial operations are evident.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'search_memories' indicates a query/retrieval operation. The server description emphasizes 'memory sharing' and the sibling tools (list_shared_memories, get_memory_health, promote_memory, sync_memory) suggest read and administrative operations on…
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
search_memories. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Memory Bridge MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Memory Bridge MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for search_memories: 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 Memory Bridge. Nothing to install.
search_memories 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 search_memories 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 search_memories. 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.
search_memories is provided by the Memory Bridge MCP server (lewenw/claude-memory-bridge). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
