get_root

What get_root does on Mapi Agent Memory

AI agents call get_root 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_root is rated Low

In the context of an auditable memory and governance system, 'get_root' most likely retrieves root configuration, metadata, or a reference point for the memory structure—a non-destructive read operation. The empty description lowers confidence somewhat, but the naming pattern and sibling tools (which involve auditing, validation, and governance) support this being a safe read-only accessor.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_root' suggests retrieval of root-level data or configuration. The empty description prevents full certainty, but the verb 'get' and naming convention align with read operations on an audit/memory system.

The rule that runs get_root 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_root, this is the rule to start with:

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "get_root": {}
  }
}
