Remove a specific session-scoped memory item by its ID
AI agents call forget_scoped_memory to permanently remove resources in consciousness MCP server — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
This tool permanently deletes a memory item identified by ID. Deletion is irreversible and constitutes data destruction. While the blast radius is bounded to session-scoped memory (not universal), it still represents an irreversible loss of information that could contain important context.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'forget_scoped_memory' and description 'Remove a specific session-scoped memory item by its ID' indicate irreversible deletion of stored data.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Remove a specific session-scoped memory item by its ID. It is categorised as a Destructive tool in the consciousness MCP server MCP Server, which means it can permanently delete or destroy data. Block by default and require explicit approval.
Register the consciousness MCP server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for forget_scoped_memory: 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 consciousness MCP server. Nothing to install.
forget_scoped_memory is a Destructive tool with critical risk. Critical-risk tools should be blocked by default and only enabled with explicit human approval.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the forget_scoped_memory 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 forget_scoped_memory. 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.
forget_scoped_memory is provided by the consciousness MCP server MCP server (one710/consciousness). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
