remember_with_context · memro MCP Server MCP: Risk & Policy

WHAT IT DOES

What remember_with_context does on memro MCP Server

AI agents use remember_with_context 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 remember_with_context needs a policy

This tool writes new data (memories with metadata) to persistent storage. It is reversible in the sense that a sibling tool 'delete_memory' exists, making this a Write rather than Destructive action. Misuse could lead to injection of false or misleading context into the AI's long-term memory, hence medium severity.

From the tool's definition 'Store a new memory with rich metadata context' — creates a new memory entry with associated metadata

remember_with_context Rate-limited

remember_with_context 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.
