run_maintenance

Run all periodic maintenance tasks in a single call. Combines Langevin dynamics stepping, Ebbinghaus forgetting decay, and behavioral pattern mining into one convenient maintenance cycle. Clients should call this periodically (e.g., at session end). Args: profile_id: Profile to maintain (default:...

How to control run_maintenance ↓

AI agents invoke run_maintenance to trigger actions in Qualixar/superlocalmemory. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call — builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.

High Risk

This tool executes complex maintenance operations whose effects depend on which profile is targeted. While not destructive (it applies forgetting decay and pattern mining rather than permanent deletion), it triggers external computational processes that alter the state of the memory system. It is not a simple read operation, nor does it create/modify user-facing data reversibly in the typical write sense.

From the tool's definition Tool description states it 'Run[s] all periodic maintenance tasks' and 'Combines Langevin dynamics stepping, Ebbinghaus forgetting decay, and behavioral pattern mining into one convenient maintenance cycle.' These are algorithmic operations that modify…

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access run_maintenance gives an agent:

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Qualixar/superlocalmemory, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for run_maintenance:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "run_maintenance": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "run_maintenance_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 10,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

run_maintenance stays usable, but rate-capped — a runaway agent can't fire it dozens of times a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  1. Create a free account and register Qualixar/superlocalmemory — 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.

What does the run_maintenance tool do? +

Run all periodic maintenance tasks in a single call. Combines Langevin dynamics stepping, Ebbinghaus forgetting decay, and behavioral pattern mining into one convenient maintenance cycle. Clients should call this periodically (e.g., at session end). Args: profile_id: Profile to maintain (default: active profile). It is categorised as a Execute tool in the Qualixar/superlocalmemory MCP Server, which means it can trigger actions or run processes. Use rate limits and argument validation.

How do I enforce a policy on run_maintenance? +

Register the Qualixar/superlocalmemory MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for run_maintenance: 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 Qualixar/superlocalmemory. Nothing to install.

What risk level is run_maintenance? +

run_maintenance is a Execute tool with high risk. Execute tools should be rate-limited and have argument validation enabled.

Can I rate-limit run_maintenance? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the run_maintenance 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 run_maintenance completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for run_maintenance. 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 run_maintenance? +

run_maintenance is provided by the Qualixar/superlocalmemory MCP server (qualixar/superlocalmemory). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Qualixar/superlocalmemory tool call.
