log_intent · memro MCP Server MCP: Risk & Policy

WHAT IT DOES

What log_intent does on memro MCP Server

AI agents use log_intent to create or update resources in memro MCP Server — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your memro MCP Server environment.

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why log_intent needs a policy

The tool appears to write/store an intention declaration for a resource into the memory system. It is a Write operation as it creates a new record. Severity is low since it only logs intent metadata. Confidence is moderate because the description is vague and does not detail what 'resource' means or what side effects may follow.

From the tool's definition 'Declare your intention for a resource' — logs or records an intent, suggesting a write/create operation

log_intent Rate-limited

log_intent stays usable, but capped — an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
