AI agents invoke journal_recall to trigger processes or run actions in Session Forge. Execute operations can have side effects beyond the immediate call -- triggering builds, sending notifications, or starting workflows. Rate limits and argument validation are essential to prevent runaway execution.

journal_recall can trigger processes with real-world consequences. An uncontrolled agent might start dozens of builds, send mass notifications, or kick off expensive compute jobs. PolicyLayer enforces rate limits and validates arguments to keep execution within safe bounds.

Execute tools trigger processes. Rate-limit and validate arguments to prevent unintended side effects.

Every attack above starts with a tool call. PolicyLayer checks each one against your policy first, so journal_recall only ever does what you allow.

What does the journal_recall tool do? +

Retrieve recent session context and journeys. Call at START of sessions to remember the relationship.. It is categorised as a Execute tool in the Session Forge MCP Server, which means it can trigger actions or run processes. Use rate limits and argument validation.

How do I enforce a policy on journal_recall? +

Register the Session Forge MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for journal_recall: 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 Session Forge. Nothing to install.

What risk level is journal_recall? +

journal_recall is a Execute tool with high risk. Execute tools should be rate-limited and have argument validation enabled.

Can I rate-limit journal_recall? +

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

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

journal_recall is provided by the Session Forge MCP server (session-forge). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Session Forge tool call.
