How to control widemem_add ↓

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

Medium Risk

This tool creates or adds new data (memory entries) to the system's storage layer in a reversible manner. It does not delete, destroy, or execute arbitrary code—it simply inserts data.

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'widemem_add' and description explicitly states 'Add a memory', which creates new data in the memory layer. The tool modifies the stored memory state by inserting new records.

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

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

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

widemem_add 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 Widemem Ai — 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.

How do I enforce a policy on widemem_add? +

Register the Widemem Ai MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for widemem_add: 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 Widemem Ai. Nothing to install.

What risk level is widemem_add? +

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

Can I rate-limit widemem_add? +

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