record_response

Store key takeaways from significant exchanges. NOT for permanent preferences or standing rules — use add_to_memory_bank for those.

How to control record_response ↓

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

Medium Risk

This tool creates or modifies data in a memory bank system. While reversible (not destructive—delete_memory exists as a separate tool), it writes application state. The medium severity reflects that misuse could pollute the memory system with incorrect information, affecting subsequent AI decisions, but the blast radius is limited to memory integrity rather than external systems or irreversible data loss.

From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Store key takeaways from significant exchanges', indicating data creation/modification. Name 'record_response' and verb 'Store' confirm write semantics.

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

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

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

record_response 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 Roampal Core — 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.

What does the record_response tool do? +

Store key takeaways from significant exchanges. NOT for permanent preferences or standing rules — use add_to_memory_bank for those. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Roampal Core MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

How do I enforce a policy on record_response? +

Register the Roampal Core MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for record_response: 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 Roampal Core. Nothing to install.

What risk level is record_response? +

record_response is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.

Can I rate-limit record_response? +

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

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

record_response is provided by the Roampal Core MCP server (roampal-ai/roampal-core). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Roampal Core tool call.
