get_session_state
AI agents call get_session_state to retrieve information from Mnemosyne MCP without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
The name indicates a query/retrieval operation typical of Read category tools. Session state queries generally have no side effects and retrieve existing data. Confidence is reduced due to the empty description; without further details, I infer the function from the name alone, which could be misleading.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_session_state' suggests retrieval of session information without modification. Empty description limits certainty.

get_session_state. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Mnemosyne MCP MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Mnemosyne MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_session_state: 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 Mnemosyne MCP. Nothing to install.
get_session_state 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 get_session_state 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 get_session_state. 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.
get_session_state is provided by the Mnemosyne MCP server (sophia-labs/mnemosyne-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
