What appendListElement does on ThinkMem

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

Why appendListElement needs a policy

This tool appends a new element to an existing list in memory. It is a write operation that creates new data in a reversible manner (the element can later be deleted). No code execution, financial transactions, or irreversible destruction is involved.

How to control appendListElement

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

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

appendListElement 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 ThinkMem — 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.
