What recall_memory does on Mapi Agent Memory
AI agents call recall_memory 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 recall_memory is rated Low
The name 'recall_memory' most naturally means to retrieve or access stored memory—a read operation with no destructive, modifying, or executable side effects. Although the description is empty (lowering confidence slightly from 0.95 to 0.85), context from sibling tools that handle writes ('append_file_text', 'add_review_note') strongly indicates this is the read counterpart.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'recall_memory' indicates retrieval/querying of stored memory data with no side effects. The tool appears to be a complementary counterpart to the write-oriented tools like 'append_file_text', 'add_review_note', and 'add_validation_event' visible…

The rule that runs recall_memory 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 recall_memory, this is the rule to start with:
recall_memory 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 recall_memory call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about recall_memory
recall_memory is a read tool on the Mapi Agent Memory MCP server. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Mapi Agent Memory MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Mapi Agent Memory MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for recall_memory: 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.
recall_memory is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the recall_memory 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 recall_memory. 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.
recall_memory 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.
