process_text

Extract candidate memories from free-form text with governance filters and sanitization.

Part of the Synapse Layer — Continuous Consciousness Infrastructure server.

process_text is read-only, but an agent in a loop can still rack up calls and cost. PolicyLayer caps every call before it runs. Live in minutes.

AI agents call process_text to retrieve information from Synapse Layer — Continuous Consciousness Infrastructure without modifying any data. This is common in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows where the agent needs context before taking action. Because read operations don't change state, they are generally safe to allow without restrictions -- but you may still want rate limits to control API costs.

Even though process_text only reads data, uncontrolled read access can leak sensitive information or rack up API costs. An agent caught in a retry loop could make thousands of calls per minute. A rate limit gives you a safety net without blocking legitimate use.

Read-only tools are safe to allow by default. No rate limit needed unless you want to control costs.

Every attack above starts with a tool call. PolicyLayer checks each one against your policy first, so process_text only ever does what you allow.

What does the process_text tool do? +

Extract candidate memories from free-form text with governance filters and sanitization.. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Synapse Layer — Continuous Consciousness Infrastructure MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on process_text? +

Register the Synapse Layer — Continuous Consciousness Infrastructure MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for process_text: 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 Synapse Layer — Continuous Consciousness Infrastructure. Nothing to install.

What risk level is process_text? +

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

Can I rate-limit process_text? +

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

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

process_text is provided by the Synapse Layer — Continuous Consciousness Infrastructure MCP server (synapse-layer). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Synapse Layer — Continuous Consciousness Infrastructure tool call.
