What mnemos.memory_create does on Mnemos

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

Medium Risk

Why mnemos.memory_create needs a policy

This tool creates and stores new data in a persistent memory system. Creation of data is a Write operation. Severity is medium because misuse could clutter the memory system or store sensitive/incorrect information, but the effects are reversible (memories can presumably be deleted or corrected).

From the tool's definition Tool is named 'memory_create' and described as 'Save a memory to MNEMOS', which indicates creation of persistent data in a memory storage system.

How to control mnemos.memory_create

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

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

mnemos.memory_create 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 Mnemos — 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.
