Delete a previously stored memory by key. Use when context is stale, the task is done, or you want to clear sensitive data the agent saved earlier. Pair with remember and recall.
AI agents call forget to permanently remove resources in Mcp Fbi Artcrimes — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.

key | string | Yes | Memory key to delete |
Parameters from the server's own tool schema.
This tool irreversibly deletes data (memory entries). Although the blast radius is limited to agent-internal state rather than external systems, deletion is fundamentally destructive and cannot be undone.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'forget' and description states 'Delete a previously stored memory by key' — this irreversibly removes stored data. The phrase 'clear sensitive data' reinforces that deletion is permanent.

It is categorised as a Destructive tool in the Mcp Fbi Artcrimes MCP Server, which means it can permanently delete or destroy data. Block by default and require explicit approval.
forget accepts 1 parameter: key. Required: key. The full parameter table on this page comes from the server's own tool schema.
Register the Mcp Fbi Artcrimes MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for forget: 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 Mcp Fbi Artcrimes. Nothing to install.
forget 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 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. 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 is provided by the Mcp Fbi Artcrimes MCP server (pipeworx-io/mcp-fbi-artcrimes). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
