recall
AI agents call recall to retrieve information from Memanto MCP without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
The tool retrieves stored information from memory without side effects. While the description is empty, the name 'recall' paired with sibling tools focused on retrieving memory state (recall_as_of, recall_recent, recall_changed_since) and the absence of any modification semantics strongly indicates this is a read-only operation. This aligns with the Read category for queries and retrieval operations.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'recall' in a memory agent context, combined with sibling tools showing read patterns (recall_as_of, recall_changed_since, recall_recent, answer) all suggest data retrieval.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
recall. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Memanto MCP MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Memanto MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for recall: 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 Memanto MCP. Nothing to install.
recall 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 recall 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 recall. 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.
recall is provided by the Memanto MCP server (moorcheh-ai/memanto). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
