How to control recall ↓

AI agents call recall 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

The name 'recall' is consistent with data retrieval operations. Without an explicit description, confidence is moderate. The lack of destructive verbs (delete, drop) or financial operations, combined with the server's governance focus on audit trails and history, suggests this retrieves rather than modifies state.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'recall' suggests retrieval of stored information; no parameters or description provided. Given the server context emphasizes 'shared memory' and sibling tools like 'action_history' and 'audit', this likely retrieves previously stored data.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access recall 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 recall:

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

recall 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.

What does the recall tool do? +

recall. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Novyx MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on recall? +

Register the Novyx MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for recall: 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 Novyx. Nothing to install.

What risk level is recall? +

recall is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.

Can I rate-limit recall? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the recall 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 recall completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for recall. 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 recall? +

recall is provided by the Novyx MCP server (novyxlabs/novyx-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Novyx tool call.
