store_memory

Store information in semantic memory. The information will be indexed and can be retrieved via semantic search.

What store_memory does on MCP Qdrant Semantic Search

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

Medium Risk

Why store_memory needs a policy

This tool creates/writes new data entries into the Qdrant vector database. It does not delete or overwrite existing data, does not execute code, and has no financial implications. It is a reversible write operation (a sibling 'delete_memory' tool exists for removal). Misuse could result in polluting the memory store with incorrect or malicious data, giving it a medium severity.

From the tool's definition 'Store information in semantic memory' and 'will be indexed and can be retrieved via semantic search'

How to control store_memory

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

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

store_memory 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 Qdrant Semantic Search — 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.

Questions about store_memory

What does the store_memory tool do? +

Store information in semantic memory. The information will be indexed and can be retrieved via semantic search. It is categorised as a Write tool in the MCP Qdrant Semantic Search MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

How do I enforce a policy on store_memory? +

Register the MCP Qdrant Semantic Search MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for store_memory: 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 MCP Qdrant Semantic Search. Nothing to install.

What risk level is store_memory? +

store_memory is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.

Can I rate-limit store_memory? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the store_memory 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.

How do I block store_memory completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for store_memory. 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.

What MCP server provides store_memory? +

store_memory is provided by the MCP Qdrant Semantic Search MCP server (muhammedehab35/mcp-qdrant-semantic-search). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every MCP Qdrant Semantic Search tool call.

Start from MCP Qdrant Semantic Search, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
