trit_mem_compress

Apply ternary sparsity compression to an entire memory layer in-place. Strips low-information sentences (density < 0.25) from every entry's value, keeps high-signal sentences verbatim, and truncates medium-density sentences to their first phrase. Optionally drops all reject-trit entries. Returns ...

rfi-irfos/ternlang Read Risk 2/5

AI agents call trit_mem_compress to retrieve information from Ternary Intelligence Stack without modifying any data. This is common in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows where the agent needs context before taking action. Because read operations don't change state, they are generally safe to allow without restrictions -- but you may still want rate limits to control API costs.

Even though trit_mem_compress only reads data, uncontrolled read access can leak sensitive information or rack up API costs. An agent caught in a retry loop could make thousands of calls per minute. A rate limit gives you a safety net without blocking legitimate use.

Read-only tools are safe to allow by default. No rate limit needed unless you want to control costs.

What does the trit_mem_compress tool do? +

Apply ternary sparsity compression to an entire memory layer in-place. Strips low-information sentences (density < 0.25) from every entry's value, keeps high-signal sentences verbatim, and truncates medium-density sentences to their first phrase. Optionally drops all reject-trit entries. Returns original vs compressed byte counts and compression ratio.. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Ternary Intelligence Stack MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on trit_mem_compress? +

Add a rule in your Intercept YAML policy under the tools section for trit_mem_compress. You can allow, deny, rate-limit, or validate arguments. Then run Intercept as a proxy in front of the Ternary Intelligence Stack MCP server.

What risk level is trit_mem_compress? +

trit_mem_compress is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.

Can I rate-limit trit_mem_compress? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the trit_mem_compress rule in your Intercept 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 trit_mem_compress completely? +

Set action: deny in the Intercept policy for trit_mem_compress. 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 trit_mem_compress? +

trit_mem_compress is provided by the Ternary Intelligence Stack MCP server (rfi-irfos/ternlang). Intercept sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
