What search_semantic does on Mapi Agent Memory
AI agents call search_semantic 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 search_semantic is rated Low
Given the semantic search naming convention and the broader context of an 'Auditable memory and governance' system, this tool most likely queries or retrieves memory-related data. Search operations do not modify, execute code, or have destructive side effects. The confidence is reduced from higher levels due to the missing description, but the category assignment is robust based on the name alone.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'search_semantic' indicates a search operation. Searches are read-only operations that retrieve or query data without modification.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs search_semantic 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 search_semantic, this is the rule to start with:
search_semantic 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 search_semantic call is checked against it from then on.
