Why memorize_text needs a policy

This tool creates and persists new data (text embeddings) in a vector store. It is a write operation with no indication of deletion or irreversibility beyond normal data storage. Misuse could result in polluting the knowledge base with false or harmful information, giving it a medium severity.

From the tool's definition 'Memorize a text for later retrieval' — the tool stores/writes a text passage into the vector database (ChromaDB) for future retrieval.

How to control memorize_text

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

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

memorize_text 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 Mcp Rag Local — 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.
