What search_verbatim does on Mapi Agent Memory

AI agents call search_verbatim 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_verbatim is rated Low

This is a Read operation—it searches and retrieves data from memory stores without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing actions.

From the tool's definition Tool performs text search using FTS5 (full-text search) across memories and conversation archives. The name 'search_verbatim' and description indicating 'exact text matching' in 'memories and/or conversation archive' confirms retrieval without modification.

The rule that runs search_verbatim 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_verbatim, this is the rule to start with:

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