Get all stored user preferences.
AI agents call get_preferences to retrieve information from Oceanir Memory without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool queries and retrieves stored preference data without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. It is a pure read operation that returns existing information. The low severity reflects minimal risk—an AI agent misusing this tool would only expose preferences already stored, without triggering destructive or financial consequences.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_preferences' and description 'Get all stored user preferences' indicate a retrieval operation with no modification or side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get all stored user preferences. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Oceanir Memory MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Oceanir Memory MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_preferences: 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 Oceanir Memory. Nothing to install.
get_preferences 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 get_preferences 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 get_preferences. 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.
get_preferences is provided by the Oceanir Memory MCP server (oceanir/oceanir-memory). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
