What searchMemory does on ThinkMem

AI agents call searchMemory to retrieve information from ThinkMem without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Low Risk

Why searchMemory needs a policy

searchMemory performs read-only operations: searching, filtering, and returning memory data without modifying, deleting, or executing anything. It retrieves information based on name pattern matching and type filtering. This is a classic Read operation with minimal risk—an AI agent using this tool can only discover what memories exist, not alter or act on them.

From the tool's definition Tool description states "搜索和筛选Memory存储块" (search and filter memory storage blocks) and "返回符合条件的Memory列表" (returns a list of matching memories). The operation is purely retrieval-based with no mention of modification, deletion, or execution capabilities.

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

How to control searchMemory

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 searchMemory:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "searchMemory": {}
  }
}

searchMemory is read-only, so it stays allowed — but 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.

Questions about searchMemory

What does the searchMemory tool do? +

搜索和筛选Memory存储块,支持按名称模式匹配和按类型过滤。返回符合条件的Memory列表。默认支持不区分大小写正则表达式。可空以获取全部。. It is categorised as a Read tool in the ThinkMem MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on searchMemory? +

Register the ThinkMem MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for searchMemory: 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 ThinkMem. Nothing to install.

What risk level is searchMemory? +

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

Can I rate-limit searchMemory? +

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

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for searchMemory. 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 searchMemory? +

searchMemory is provided by the ThinkMem MCP server (rickonono3/thinkmem). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every ThinkMem tool call.

Start from ThinkMem, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.

Free to start. No card required.
