memory.remember · ForLoop MCP: Risk & Policy

WHAT IT DOES

What memory.remember does on ForLoop MCP

AI agents use memory.remember to create or update resources in ForLoop MCP — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your ForLoop MCP environment.

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why memory.remember needs a policy

This tool writes/creates data (a memory entry) in a persistent session namespace. It is reversible (the sibling tool memory.delete can remove it), so it falls under Write rather than Destructive. Misuse could allow an AI agent to persist malicious or misleading information across sessions, giving it medium severity.

Verdict

memory.remember Rate-limited

memory.remember 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.

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: every tool call is checked against your rule before it reaches ForLoop MCP, so you can run agents against it safely.

FAQ

Questions about memory.remember

What does the memory.remember tool do? +

Store a long-term memory in this MCP session namespace. It is categorised as a Write tool in the ForLoop MCP MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

How do I enforce a policy on memory.remember? +

Register the ForLoop MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for memory.remember: 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 ForLoop MCP. Nothing to install.

What risk level is memory.remember? +

memory.remember is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.

Can I rate-limit memory.remember? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the memory.remember 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.

How do I block memory.remember completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for memory.remember. 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.

What MCP server provides memory.remember? +

memory.remember is provided by the ForLoop MCP server (master0ffate/forloop-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
