What get_memory_provenance does on Mapi Agent Memory
AI agents call get_memory_provenance 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 get_memory_provenance is rated Low
The 'get_' prefix strongly indicates a retrieval operation. Given the server's focus on auditable memory and governance, this tool likely retrieves provenance metadata or audit trails without modifying data. While the empty description lowers confidence slightly, the name and context clearly point to a read operation. No write, execute, destructive, or financial capabilities are evident.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_memory_provenance' combined with server context (auditable memory and governance) indicates retrieval of provenance data. No description provided, but the 'get_' prefix and governance context suggest read-only query operations.

The rule that runs get_memory_provenance 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 get_memory_provenance, this is the rule to start with:
get_memory_provenance 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 get_memory_provenance call is checked against it from then on.
