AI agents call gatherMemoryValues to retrieve information from Miadi without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
The verb 'gather' combined with 'pattern matching' indicates a query-based read operation that retrieves existing data without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing external operations. No side effects are implied.
From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Gather memory values using pattern matching' — a retrieval operation with no modification. Sibling tools (collectMemory, getMemory, scanKeys) reinforce this server's focus on querying memory/data.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Gather memory values using pattern matching. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Miadi MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Miadi MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for gatherMemoryValues: 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 Miadi. Nothing to install.
gatherMemoryValues 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 gatherMemoryValues 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 gatherMemoryValues. 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.
gatherMemoryValues is provided by the Miadi MCP server (miadi-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
