What context_stats does on Mnemo

AI agents call context_stats to retrieve information from Mnemo without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Why context_stats needs a policy

This tool retrieves and reports statistics about cache performance and costs. It has no side effects—it only reads and presents information. There is no data modification, deletion, code execution, or financial impact. This is a straightforward Read category operation.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'context_stats' and description 'Get usage statistics for caches. Shows token usage, costs, and cache hit rates.' indicate a retrieval operation that queries and displays metrics without modifying any underlying data or triggering external…

How to control context_stats

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

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "context_stats": {}
  }
}

context_stats is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  1. Create a free account and register Mnemo — 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 context_stats? +

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

What risk level is context_stats? +

Can I rate-limit context_stats? +

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

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

context_stats is provided by the Mnemo MCP server (logos-flux/mnemo). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Mnemo tool call.

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