Get the most recent memories for the agent.
AI agents call get_recent_memories 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 historical memory records for an AI agent. It is a query operation that has no side effects—it does not modify, delete, or execute code. While the retrieved memories could theoretically inform subsequent agent actions, the tool itself only performs data retrieval, fitting the 'Read' category.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_recent_memories' and description 'Get the most recent memories for the agent' indicate retrieval of stored data with no modification, deletion, or execution of external operations.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get the most recent memories for the agent. 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_recent_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 memro MCP Server. Nothing to install.
get_recent_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 get_recent_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 get_recent_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.
get_recent_memories 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.
