Why recall_skill_choice needs a policy

This tool queries persistent session memory to retrieve information about past skill usage. It has no side effects, does not modify or delete data, and does not execute code or trigger external operations. It is purely informational, enabling an agent to make faster decisions by looking up previous patterns rather than deciding from scratch. Classification as Read is appropriate.

From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Find which skill was used' — a retrieval/query operation that searches historical session memory for similar task patterns. No modification, deletion, or execution of external code is described.

How to control recall_skill_choice

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

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

recall_skill_choice 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 GraphHub — 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.
