What insertListElement does on ThinkMem

AI agents use insertListElement 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 insertListElement needs a policy

The tool modifies memory data by inserting elements into a list structure. This is a reversible write operation—the inserted elements can be removed or modified later. It does not execute code, delete data irreversibly, or move financial resources. The blast radius is low as it only affects in-memory list structures without external side effects or data loss.

From the tool's definition Tool description states it inserts new elements into ListMemory at a specified position ("在ListMemory的指定位置插入新元素"). This is a data modification operation that creates new list entries.

How to control insertListElement

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 insertListElement:

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

insertListElement 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.
