Get grouped review information for a branch/session of drafts.

How to control memory_branch ↓

AI agents call memory_branch to retrieve information from Novyx without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Low Risk

This tool retrieves review information for a specific branch or session. The verb 'Get' and the read-only nature of obtaining grouped review data classify it as Read. The severity is low because it accesses information about draft sessions without side effects, though it operates within a governance context.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'memory_branch' and description 'Get grouped review information for a branch/session of drafts' indicate retrieval of existing data without modification or deletion.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access memory_branch gives an agent:

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

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "memory_branch": {}
  }
}

memory_branch is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  1. Create a free account and register Novyx — 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.
