Low Risk

capture_memory_feedback

Capture success/failure feedback to harden future workflows. Aliased to capture_feedback.

Part of the ThumbGate MCP server. Enforce policies on this tool with Intercept, the open-source MCP proxy.

AI agents call capture_memory_feedback to retrieve information from ThumbGate 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 capture_memory_feedback 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 capture_memory_feedback tool do? +

Capture success/failure feedback to harden future workflows. Aliased to capture_feedback.. It is categorised as a Read tool in the ThumbGate MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on capture_memory_feedback? +

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

What risk level is capture_memory_feedback? +

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

Can I rate-limit capture_memory_feedback? +

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

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

capture_memory_feedback is provided by the ThumbGate MCP server (rlhf-loop/mcp-memory-gateway-v2). Intercept sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
