Consolidate memories: deduplicate/merge near duplicates, promote repeated episodic observations into semantic facts, summarize clusters, and soft-delete stale low-value memories with audit reasons. Use dry_run=true first.
AI agents call memory_consolidate to permanently remove resources in Mementos — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
While the tool performs several operations including deduplication, merging, and summarization (which would be Write/Execute), the critical action is 'soft-delete stale low-value memories'.

Consolidate memories: deduplicate/merge near duplicates, promote repeated episodic observations into semantic facts, summarize clusters, and soft-delete stale low-value memories with audit reasons. Use dry_run=true first. It is categorised as a Destructive tool in the Mementos MCP Server, which means it can permanently delete or destroy data. Block by default and require explicit approval.
Register the Mementos MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for memory_consolidate: 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 Mementos. Nothing to install.
memory_consolidate is a Destructive tool with critical risk. Critical-risk tools should be blocked by default and only enabled with explicit human approval.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the memory_consolidate 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 memory_consolidate. 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.
memory_consolidate is provided by the Mementos MCP server (@hasna/mementos). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
