Get coordination context (claims/intents) for a specific resource.
AI agents call get_active_context to retrieve information from memro MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves existing coordination context (claims and intents) associated with a resource. It performs no side effects, creates no new data, modifies nothing, and cannot delete or execute external operations. It is a straightforward query/lookup operation that falls squarely within the 'Read' category. The low severity reflects the minimal risk profile of passively accessing stored context data.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_active_context' and description 'Get coordination context (claims/intents) for a specific resource' indicate data retrieval without modification. The verb 'Get' and lack of any mutation language confirm read-only semantics.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get coordination context (claims/intents) for a specific resource. It is categorised as a Read tool in the memro MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the memro MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_active_context: 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 memro MCP Server. Nothing to install.
get_active_context 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 get_active_context 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 get_active_context. 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.
get_active_context is provided by the memro MCP Server MCP server (memrohq/memro-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
get_active_context is one line of memro MCP Server's registry record.
The record carries the whole server: verified identity, auth posture, risk grade, every tool classified, recommended policy — re-checked continuously.
