Get the full history of a single memory.

How to control replay_memory ↓

AI agents call replay_memory 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 historical data about a memory without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any actions. The verb 'Get' and the read-only nature of accessing history confirm it as a Read operation with minimal risk.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'replay_memory' and description 'Get the full history of a single memory' indicate a retrieval operation with no modification or side effects.

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

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

replay_memory 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.
