GET RELATIONS SHOW LINKS - Get all relationships for a specific memory. Keywords: get relations, show links, list connections, view relationships, find associations
AI agents call memory_get_relations to retrieve information from MCP AI Memory without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves and displays existing relationship data associated with a memory without modifying, deleting, or executing external operations. It is purely informational and has no side effects. The action verbs (get, show, list, view, find) all indicate read-only operations. Severity is low because reading memory relationships poses minimal risk even if queried inappropriately by an agent.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'memory_get_relations' and description explicitly states 'GET RELATIONS SHOW LINKS' and 'Get all relationships for a specific memory.' Keywords include 'get relations', 'show links', 'list connections', 'view relationships', 'find associations'—all…
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access memory_get_relations gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and MCP AI Memory, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for memory_get_relations:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"memory_get_relations": {}
}
}memory_get_relations is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

GET RELATIONS SHOW LINKS - Get all relationships for a specific memory. Keywords: get relations, show links, list connections, view relationships, find associations. It is categorised as a Read tool in the MCP AI Memory MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the MCP AI Memory MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for memory_get_relations: 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 MCP AI Memory. Nothing to install.
memory_get_relations is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the memory_get_relations 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.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for memory_get_relations. 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.
memory_get_relations is provided by the MCP AI Memory MCP server (scanadi/mcp-ai-memory). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
