What store_insight does on myBrAIn

AI agents use store_insight to create or update resources in myBrAIn — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your myBrAIn environment.

Why store_insight needs a policy

This tool writes data to persistent storage (a project rule or insight), which is a reversible write operation. It does not delete, execute code, or involve financial transactions. Misuse could lead to corrupted or malicious rules being stored and later recalled to influence AI behavior across sessions, hence medium severity.

From the tool's definition 'Store a project rule or insight' — creates/persists new data (rules or insights) in the memory system

How to control store_insight

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

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

store_insight 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 myBrAIn — 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 store_insight? +

Register the myBrAIn MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for store_insight: 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 myBrAIn. Nothing to install.

What risk level is store_insight? +

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

Can I rate-limit store_insight? +

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

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

store_insight is provided by the myBrAIn MCP server (lilium360/mybrain). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every myBrAIn tool call.

Start from myBrAIn, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
