Get memory statistics
AI agents call squish_stats to retrieve information from Squish Memory without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves aggregate metrics or statistics about stored memory. It is a read-only operation with no capacity to modify, delete, or execute external operations. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an agent could only view statistics about what is already stored. No data is created, modified, deleted, or financial impact is possible.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'squish_stats' and description 'Get memory statistics' indicate a retrieval operation that queries and returns statistical data about memory without modifying, deleting, or executing side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get memory statistics. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Squish Memory MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Squish Memory MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for squish_stats: 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 Squish Memory. Nothing to install.
squish_stats 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 squish_stats 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 squish_stats. 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.
squish_stats is provided by the Squish Memory MCP server (michielhdoteth/squish). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
