get_user_tags

Fetches all existing tags used by the user. Run this to know what categories already exist before saving new memos or goals.

Part of the Memolink server.

get_user_tags is read-only, but an agent in a loop can still rack up calls and cost. PolicyLayer caps every call before it runs. Live in minutes.

AI agents call get_user_tags to retrieve information from Memolink without modifying any data. This is common in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows where the agent needs context before taking action. Because read operations don't change state, they are generally safe to allow without restrictions -- but you may still want rate limits to control API costs.

Even though get_user_tags only reads data, uncontrolled read access can leak sensitive information or rack up API costs. An agent caught in a retry loop could make thousands of calls per minute. A rate limit gives you a safety net without blocking legitimate use.

Read-only tools are safe to allow by default. No rate limit needed unless you want to control costs.

Every attack above starts with a tool call. PolicyLayer checks each one against your policy first, so get_user_tags only ever does what you allow.

What does the get_user_tags tool do? +

Fetches all existing tags used by the user. Run this to know what categories already exist before saving new memos or goals.. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Memolink MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on get_user_tags? +

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

What risk level is get_user_tags? +

get_user_tags is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.

Can I rate-limit get_user_tags? +

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

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

get_user_tags is provided by the Memolink MCP server (memolink-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Memolink tool call.
