What promote_ingest_item does on Mapi Agent Memory
AI agents use promote_ingest_item to create or update resources in Mapi Agent Memory, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Mapi Agent Memory environment.
Why promote_ingest_item is rated Medium
This tool creates or modifies data in a reversible manner (Write category). The action promotes/ingests items into memory, which is a write operation. Severity is medium because while it modifies data, the effects are bounded to memory state management within an audit framework and can likely be reversed or remediated through other governance tools on the server.
From the tool's definition Tool description states it 'Promotes a quarantined ingest item into one concise normal memory,' indicating it modifies memory state by moving data from quarantine into active memory storage.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs promote_ingest_item 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 promote_ingest_item, this is the rule to start with:
promote_ingest_item stays usable, but capped: an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. 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 promote_ingest_item call is checked against it from then on.

Register the Mapi Agent Memory MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for promote_ingest_item: 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 Mapi Agent Memory. Nothing to install.
promote_ingest_item is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the promote_ingest_item 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.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for promote_ingest_item. 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.
promote_ingest_item is provided by the Mapi Agent Memory MCP server (cabo0m/mapi-agent-memory). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
