What open_workshop does on Mapi Agent Memory
AI agents call open_workshop 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 open_workshop is rated Low
The description suggests retrieving or displaying an index/view of a workshop area, which is a read operation. The word 'open' in context implies loading/viewing rather than modifying. However, the description is vague and doesn't explicitly rule out side effects, so confidence is moderate. Severity is low as it appears to only retrieve an index.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs open_workshop 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 open_workshop, this is the rule to start with:
open_workshop 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 open_workshop call is checked against it from then on.
