What find_memories does on Mapi Agent Memory
AI agents call find_memories to retrieve information from Mapi Agent Memory without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
Why find_memories is rated Low
The function name pattern 'find_*' is characteristic of Read operations that search or query existing data. No action verbs like 'apply', 'add', 'delete', or 'append' are present. Within a memory governance system, finding/querying memories is a fundamental lookup operation with no modifications or irreversible actions.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'find_memories' indicates a query or search operation for retrieving memory records. The empty description limits certainty, but the naming convention and context within an auditable memory system strongly suggest data retrieval without side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs find_memories safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Mapi Agent Memory, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For find_memories, this is the rule to start with:
find_memories is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Mapi Agent Memory, apply this rule, and every find_memories call is checked against it from then on.
