What analyze_message does on SAM

AI agents call analyze_message 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.

Why analyze_message needs a policy

This tool performs analysis (reading/inspection) of messages to detect auto-trigger patterns. It retrieves or processes message data to generate insights, with no modification, deletion, or external execution. The capability to understand message content for trigger detection is a Read operation. While it informs downstream automation, the tool itself only reads and analyzes.

From the tool's definition Tool name and description: 'Analyze message for auto-triggers using ML model' — the verb 'analyze' indicates inspection and evaluation without modification. No side effects, no data creation, deletion, or external execution mentioned.

How to control analyze_message

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_message:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "analyze_message": {}
  }
}

analyze_message is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  1. Create a free account and register SAM — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.

Questions about analyze_message

What does the analyze_message tool do? +

Analyze message for auto-triggers using ML model. It is categorised as a Read tool in the SAM MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on analyze_message? +

Register the SAM MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for analyze_message: 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.

What risk level is analyze_message? +

analyze_message is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.

Can I rate-limit analyze_message? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the analyze_message 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.

How do I block analyze_message completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for analyze_message. 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.

What MCP server provides analyze_message? +

analyze_message 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.

Enforce policy on every SAM tool call.

Start from SAM, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
