AI agents call search_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 queries existing memory data through various search methods. It has no side effects—it does not create, modify, delete, or execute external operations. The action is purely informational, returning results based on search parameters. This is a clear Read category operation.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'search_memories' combined with description 'Search across stored memories using semantic, keyword, or hybrid search' indicates retrieval-only functionality.

Search across stored memories using semantic, keyword, or hybrid search. Use when you need past context about a specific topic, person, project, or decision. Prefer \. 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 search_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.
search_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 search_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 search_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.
search_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.
