What create_relations does on Xgmem

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

Why create_relations needs a policy

This tool creates new relations in the knowledge graph, which is a reversible modification of data. It does not delete, execute external commands, or move financial assets. While it modifies state, the creation of relations can be undone (via delete_relations, which exists as a sibling tool), making it a Write operation rather than Destructive.

From the tool's definition Tool description states it creates "multiple new relations between entities in the project knowledge graph", using the verb "create" which indicates data modification.

How to control create_relations

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Xgmem, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for create_relations:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "create_relations": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "create_relations_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

create_relations 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.

  1. Create a free account and register Xgmem — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.

Questions about create_relations

What does the create_relations tool do? +

Create multiple new relations between entities in the project knowledge graph. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Xgmem MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

How do I enforce a policy on create_relations? +

Register the Xgmem MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for create_relations: 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 Xgmem. Nothing to install.

What risk level is create_relations? +

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

Can I rate-limit create_relations? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the create_relations 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 create_relations completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for create_relations. 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 create_relations? +

create_relations is provided by the Xgmem MCP server (meetdhanani17/xgmem). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Xgmem tool call.

Start from Xgmem, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
