Manage conversation sessions for persistent context and memory

How to control ultra-session ↓

AI agents use ultra-session to create or update resources in Ultra MCP — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Ultra MCP environment.

Medium Risk

This tool creates and modifies session data structures to maintain conversation context. While it can reversibly create and update sessions, it does not irreversibly delete data (no 'destroy' or 'purge' language), nor does it execute arbitrary code, move money, or retrieve data as a primary function.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'ultra-session' and description 'Manage conversation sessions for persistent context and memory' indicate the ability to create, modify, and persist session state. 'Manage' implies create/update/delete operations on session objects.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access ultra-session gives an agent:

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Ultra MCP, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for ultra-session:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "ultra-session": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "ultra-session_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

ultra-session 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 Ultra MCP — 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 ultra-session tool do? +

Manage conversation sessions for persistent context and memory. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Ultra MCP MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

How do I enforce a policy on ultra-session? +

Register the Ultra MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for ultra-session: 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 Ultra MCP. Nothing to install.

What risk level is ultra-session? +

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

Can I rate-limit ultra-session? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the ultra-session 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 ultra-session completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for ultra-session. 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 ultra-session? +

ultra-session is provided by the Ultra MCP server (realmikechong/ultra-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Ultra MCP tool call.
