What index_paths does on Turbo Quant Memory MCP Server

AI agents use index_paths to create or update resources in Turbo Quant Memory MCP Server — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Turbo Quant Memory MCP Server environment.

Why index_paths needs a policy

The name 'index_paths' suggests the tool indexes or registers file paths into the persistent memory/knowledge graph, which is a write operation. However, the description is empty, so confidence is low. Given the server context (storing codebase context for AI agents), this likely creates or updates index entries for file paths. No evidence of destructive, financial, or execution behavior.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'index_paths' with empty description; name suggests indexing file paths into the knowledge base/memory system.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access index_paths gives an agent:

How to control index_paths

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

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "index_paths": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "index_paths_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

index_paths stays usable, but capped — an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

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

How do I enforce a policy on index_paths? +

Register the Turbo Quant Memory MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for index_paths: 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 Turbo Quant Memory MCP Server. Nothing to install.

What risk level is index_paths? +

index_paths is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.

Can I rate-limit index_paths? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the index_paths 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 index_paths completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for index_paths. 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 index_paths? +

index_paths is provided by the Turbo Quant Memory MCP Server MCP server (lexus2016/turbo_quant_memory). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
