Analyze text for automatic memory trigger patterns
AI agents call analyze_auto_trigger to retrieve information from SAM without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves and analyzes data (text analysis) to identify patterns, but does not modify, delete, or execute code. It is a pure Read operation with minimal blast radius. Even if an AI agent misuses pattern analysis, the worst outcome is incorrect trigger detection, not data loss, financial impact, or system compromise.
From the tool's definition Tool is described as 'Analyze text for automatic memory trigger patterns' — the verb 'analyze' indicates inspection and pattern detection with no modification, deletion, or execution of external operations.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access analyze_auto_trigger gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and SAM, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for analyze_auto_trigger:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"analyze_auto_trigger": {}
}
}analyze_auto_trigger is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
Free to start. No card required.
Analyze text for automatic memory trigger patterns. It is categorised as a Read tool in the SAM MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the SAM MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for analyze_auto_trigger: 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 SAM. Nothing to install.
analyze_auto_trigger 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 analyze_auto_trigger 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 analyze_auto_trigger. 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.
analyze_auto_trigger is provided by the SAM MCP server (pigrieco/mcp-memory-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
Start from SAM, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
Free to start. No card required.
