switch_profile

Switch the active memory profile. All operations scope to this profile.

How to control switch_profile ↓

AI agents use switch_profile to create or update resources in Qualixar/superlocalmemory — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Qualixar/superlocalmemory environment.

Medium Risk

The tool changes system state by switching which memory profile is active, affecting the scope of subsequent operations. This is a Write-category action because it modifies configuration reversibly without permanently deleting data or executing arbitrary code.

From the tool's definition Tool description states it 'Switch[es] the active memory profile' with all operations scoping to the switched profile. This modifies the active state/configuration of the system, which is a reversible state change.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access switch_profile 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 switch_profile:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "switch_profile": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "switch_profile_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

switch_profile stays usable, but capped — an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes 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 switch_profile tool do? +

Switch the active memory profile. All operations scope to this profile. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Qualixar/superlocalmemory MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

How do I enforce a policy on switch_profile? +

Register the Qualixar/superlocalmemory MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for switch_profile: 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 switch_profile? +

switch_profile is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.

Can I rate-limit switch_profile? +

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

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

switch_profile 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.
