Get the current version of the Memory MCP server and configuration.
AI agents call memory_version to retrieve information from Claude Memory MCP without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool performs a simple informational query to fetch version and configuration data. It has no side effects, does not execute code, does not modify state, and does not access sensitive project memory. The blast radius of misuse is negligible—an AI agent retrieving version information poses minimal risk.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'memory_version' and description 'Get the current version' indicate a query operation that retrieves metadata about the server state without modifying or executing anything.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get the current version of the Memory MCP server and configuration. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Claude Memory MCP MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Claude Memory MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for memory_version: 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 Claude Memory MCP. Nothing to install.
memory_version 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 memory_version 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 memory_version. 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.
memory_version is provided by the Claude Memory MCP server (navid-kianfar/claude-memory-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
