Get observation statistics grouped by type.
AI agents call mem_stats to retrieve information from Qontinui MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves statistics about observations—a read-only operation with no side effects. It fits the Read category pattern of retrieving or querying data. The severity is low because accessing statistics poses minimal risk; the data returned is informational only and cannot affect system state or trigger external operations.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'mem_stats' and description 'Get observation statistics grouped by type' indicate a query operation that retrieves and reports statistical data without modifying, executing, or deleting anything.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get observation statistics grouped by type. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Qontinui MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Qontinui MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for mem_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 Qontinui MCP Server. Nothing to install.
mem_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 mem_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 mem_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.
mem_stats is provided by the Qontinui MCP Server MCP server (qontinui/qontinui-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
