What context_batch_save does on MCP Memory Keeper

AI agents use context_batch_save to create or update resources in MCP Memory Keeper — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your MCP Memory Keeper environment.

Medium Risk

Why context_batch_save needs a policy

The tool creates or modifies multiple context items atomically without deleting them. This is reversible (items can be updated/overwritten later) and has no permanent destructive effects. Severity is medium because misuse could corrupt conversation history or introduce malicious context into future sessions, but the effects are recoverable and limited to the user's own context storage.

From the tool's definition Tool name contains 'save' and description explicitly states 'Save multiple context items in a single atomic operation', indicating creation/modification of data in persistent storage.

How to control context_batch_save

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and MCP Memory Keeper, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for context_batch_save:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "context_batch_save": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "context_batch_save_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

context_batch_save stays usable, but capped — an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  1. Create a free account and register MCP Memory Keeper — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
