What set_memory_priority does on Mapi Agent Memory
AI agents use set_memory_priority 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 set_memory_priority is rated Medium
The tool modifies memory system state (priority setting) which is a reversible operation (priority can be changed again). This is a Write operation rather than Read (no query/retrieval indicated by name), Destructive (priority changes are reversible), or Execute (not triggering external operations).
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'set_memory_priority' with empty description. Based on sibling tools on the 'mapi-agent-memory' server (apply_approved_memory_consolidation_proposal, apply_memory_hygiene, etc.), this server manages AI agent memory state.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs set_memory_priority 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 set_memory_priority, this is the rule to start with:
set_memory_priority 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 set_memory_priority call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about set_memory_priority
set_memory_priority is a write tool on the Mapi Agent Memory MCP server. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Mapi Agent Memory MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
Register the Mapi Agent Memory MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for set_memory_priority: 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.
set_memory_priority 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 set_memory_priority 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 set_memory_priority. 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.
set_memory_priority 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.
