Retrieve a fact or browse memory.
AI agents call memory_get to retrieve information from Memstate AI - Agent Memory System without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool performs read-only operations on stored memory data. The verbs 'retrieve' and 'browse' are characteristic of Read category tools that query information without creating, modifying, or deleting data. No external operations, code execution, or financial transactions are involved. The low severity reflects minimal risk even if an agent misuses it—worst case is information disclosure of already-stored facts.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'memory_get' combined with description 'Retrieve a fact or browse memory' indicates data retrieval with no modification or side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Retrieve a fact or browse memory. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Memstate AI - Agent Memory System MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Memstate AI - Agent Memory System MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for memory_get: 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 Memstate AI - Agent Memory System. Nothing to install.
memory_get 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 memory_get 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 memory_get. 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.
memory_get is provided by the Memstate AI - Agent Memory System MCP server (memstate-ai/memstate-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
memory_get is one line of Memstate AI - Agent Memory System's registry record.
The record carries the whole server: verified identity, auth posture, risk grade, every tool classified, recommended policy — re-checked continuously.
