What graph_stats does on Graph-Memory

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

Why graph_stats needs a policy

This tool only retrieves summary statistics about the graph state. It has no parameters, makes no modifications, and explicitly states it returns aggregate counts only. Pure read operation with minimal blast radius if misused.

From the tool's definition Returns aggregate counts only; No parameters. Graph health dashboard — node/edge counts by type, average weight, orphan count, unresolved contradictions, stale entries, schema version, and pending ingest backlog.

Questions about graph_stats

What does the graph_stats tool do? +

Graph health dashboard — node/edge counts by type, average weight, orphan count, unresolved contradictions, stale entries, schema version, and pending ingest backlog. Returns aggregate counts only; for individual entities use graph_entities. Call at session start to size up the graph before deeper queries, after graph_decay or graph_prune to verify the result, or when debugging unexpected query output. No parameters. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Graph-Memory MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on graph_stats? +

Register the Graph-Memory MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for graph_stats: 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 Graph-Memory. Nothing to install.

What risk level is graph_stats? +

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

Can I rate-limit graph_stats? +

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

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

graph_stats is provided by the Graph-Memory MCP server (stevepridemore/graph-memory). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
