What get_memory does on Code Graph Knowledge System

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

Why get_memory needs a policy

This tool retrieves stored memory records by identifier and returns their contents. No modification, deletion, execution, or financial transaction occurs. The operation is read-only and reversible with no blast radius beyond information disclosure, which is typical for read operations on knowledge graphs.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_memory' and description 'Get specific memory by ID with full details' indicate a retrieval operation with no side effects. The verb 'Get' and the absence of any modification language confirm this is a query/fetch operation.

How to control get_memory

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

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

get_memory 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 Code Graph Knowledge System — 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 get_memory

What does the get_memory tool do? +

Get specific memory by ID with full details. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Code Graph Knowledge System MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on get_memory? +

Register the Code Graph Knowledge System MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_memory: 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 Code Graph Knowledge System. Nothing to install.

What risk level is get_memory? +

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

Can I rate-limit get_memory? +

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

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

get_memory is provided by the Code Graph Knowledge System MCP server (royisme/codebase-rag). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
