search_memories
AI agents call search_memories to retrieve information from Mem0 MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
The tool appears to query or search stored memories without modifying them. No description was provided, but the naming pattern and server context strongly suggest this is a read-only search/retrieval function. Confidence is slightly reduced due to empty description, but the tool name and surrounding context provide sufficient evidence for classification as Read with low severity.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'search_memories' combined with sibling tools like 'get_memories', 'get_memory', 'list_entities' indicates retrieval/query operations.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
search_memories. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Mem0 MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Mem0 MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for search_memories: 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 Mem0 MCP Server. Nothing to install.
search_memories 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 search_memories 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 search_memories. 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.
search_memories is provided by the Mem0 MCP Server MCP server (mem0ai/mem0-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
