Session wake-up: L0 profile + L1 diary + L2 semantic search with CBT defusion for negative schemas. Returns flat Markdown.
AI agents call wake_up to retrieve information from Strata Memory MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
wake_up retrieves and aggregates stored memory across hierarchical tiers (L0-L3 architecture) and presents it for session initialization. This is fundamentally a query/fetch operation with no side effects on data. The processing (semantic search, defusion technique application) affects presentation only, not underlying memory state.
From the tool's definition Tool returns data from memory tiers (L0 profile, L1 diary, L2 semantic search) as flat Markdown with no mutation operations. The description uses retrieval language: 'Returns flat Markdown' with no create, modify, delete, or execute keywords.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Session wake-up: L0 profile + L1 diary + L2 semantic search with CBT defusion for negative schemas. Returns flat Markdown. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Strata Memory MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Strata Memory MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for wake_up: 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 Strata Memory MCP Server. Nothing to install.
wake_up 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 wake_up 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 wake_up. 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.
wake_up is provided by the Strata Memory MCP Server MCP server (sherryli-vc/strata-memory). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
