View what an agent remembers about your interactions and conversations.
AI agents call view_agent_memories to retrieve information from Automagik Tools without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves and displays agent memory data without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. It has no destructive, financial, or executable consequences. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an attacker would only gain visibility into conversation history and agent state, not the ability to alter systems or access sensitive external resources. Classified as Read with low severity.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'view_agent_memories' and description states 'View what an agent remembers' — the verb 'view' and the action of retrieving stored memories indicates a read-only operation with no modification or side effects.

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Automagik Tools, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for view_agent_memories:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"view_agent_memories": {}
}
}view_agent_memories is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

View what an agent remembers about your interactions and conversations. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Automagik Tools MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Automagik Tools MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for view_agent_memories: 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 Automagik Tools. Nothing to install.
view_agent_memories 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 view_agent_memories 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 view_agent_memories. 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.
view_agent_memories is provided by the Automagik Tools MCP server (namastexlabs/automagik-tools). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
Start from Automagik Tools, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
