Read all staged findings for a given branch, ordered chronologically.
AI agents call read_staging to retrieve information from Domain memory without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves and lists staged findings in a read-only manner. There is no data creation, modification, deletion, code execution, or financial impact. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an agent could access knowledge artifacts but cannot alter, delete, or execute operations. This fits the 'Read' category as a straightforward data retrieval function.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'read_staging' and description 'Read all staged findings for a given branch' indicate data retrieval with no modification. The verb 'read' and the phrase 'ordered chronologically' confirm a query operation with no side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Read all staged findings for a given branch, ordered chronologically. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Domain memory MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Domain memory MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for read_staging: 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 Domain memory. Nothing to install.
read_staging 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 read_staging 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 read_staging. 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.
read_staging is provided by the Domain memory MCP server (mashware/domain-memory). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
