Get memory statistics.
AI agents call memory_stats 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 is a purely informational tool that retrieves statistics about the memory system. It does not create, modify, delete, or execute operations—only reads and reports metrics. It has minimal blast radius if misused by an AI agent, as it cannot alter state or trigger external effects.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'memory_stats' and description 'Get memory statistics' indicate data retrieval with no modification or side effects. It queries aggregate or diagnostic information about stored memory.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get memory statistics. 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 memory_stats: 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.
memory_stats 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 memory_stats 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 memory_stats. 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.
memory_stats 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.
