What link_memories does on Metis Public Health
AI agents use link_memories to create or update resources in Metis Public Health, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Metis Public Health environment.
Why link_memories is rated Medium
The name 'link_memories' suggests creating relationships between existing memory entries, which is a Write operation. However, the description is empty, so confidence is low. Based on sibling tools like 'add_memory_entry', this server manages a personal knowledge base; linking memories would create new associations (reversible write).
From the tool's definition Tool name 'link_memories' with empty description. The name implies creating associations/links between existing memory entries.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs link_memories safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Metis Public Health, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For link_memories, this is the rule to start with:
link_memories stays usable, but capped: an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Metis Public Health, apply this rule, and every link_memories call is checked against it from then on.
