What debug_correlate does on M3 Memory

AI agents call debug_correlate to retrieve information from M3 Memory without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Why debug_correlate needs a policy

This tool queries and correlates existing log data and decision records for analysis purposes. The verb 'cross-reference' is a read operation that examines data relationships without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing external actions. No side effects or state changes are indicated.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'debug_correlate' and description 'Cross-reference logs and decisions' indicate retrieval and analysis of existing debug information without modification or execution of external operations.

How to control debug_correlate

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and M3 Memory, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for debug_correlate:

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

debug_correlate 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 M3 Memory — 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.

How do I enforce a policy on debug_correlate? +

Register the M3 Memory MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for debug_correlate: 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 M3 Memory. Nothing to install.

What risk level is debug_correlate? +

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

Can I rate-limit debug_correlate? +

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

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

debug_correlate is provided by the M3 Memory MCP server (skynetcmd/m3-memory). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every M3 Memory tool call.

Start from M3 Memory, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
