List memories chronologically. Use when you need to browse all stored memories rather than search by relevance. Prefer search_memories for finding specific information.
AI agents call get_memories to retrieve information from Memsolus 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 and lists existing memory data without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. It has no side effects beyond data retrieval. The primary risk is information disclosure if the agent accesses sensitive stored memories, but that is typical for read operations and carries low severity in isolation.
From the tool's definition Tool description states: 'List memories chronologically' and 'when you need to browse all stored memories' - these are retrieval operations with no modification capability.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
List memories chronologically. Use when you need to browse all stored memories rather than search by relevance. Prefer search_memories for finding specific information. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Memsolus MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Memsolus MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_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 Memsolus MCP Server. Nothing to install.
get_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_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_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_memories is provided by the Memsolus MCP Server MCP server (memsolus/mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
