AI agents call get_stats to retrieve information from Ogham 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 summary statistics from an existing memory profile. It performs a read-only operation with no side effects, no data modification, and no destructive capabilities. The verb 'get' and absence of any mutating language confirm this is a Read category tool. Severity is low because statistics retrieval poses minimal risk even if invoked inappropriately by an agent.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_stats' and description 'Get summary statistics for the active memory profile' indicate retrieval of statistics without modification or deletion.

Register the Ogham MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_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 Ogham. Nothing to install.
get_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 get_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 get_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.
get_stats is provided by the Ogham MCP server (ogham-mcp/ogham-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
