Create a new lesson from an error and its solution

How to control create_lesson ↓

AI agents use create_lesson to create or update resources in Knowledge Graph Memory Server — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Knowledge Graph Memory Server environment.

Medium Risk

This tool creates (writes) a new lesson record, which is a reversible operation that modifies data by adding an entry. It does not delete, execute arbitrary code, move funds, or cause irreversible changes. The blast radius is minimal since lesson creation is a data enrichment operation with no external side effects or destructive consequences.

From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Create a new lesson' which is a create operation that adds a new record to the knowledge graph's lesson management system.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access create_lesson gives an agent:

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

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "create_lesson": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "create_lesson_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

create_lesson 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.

  1. Create a free account and register Knowledge Graph Memory Server — 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.

What does the create_lesson tool do? +

Create a new lesson from an error and its solution. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Knowledge Graph Memory Server MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

How do I enforce a policy on create_lesson? +

Register the Knowledge Graph Memory Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for create_lesson: 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 Knowledge Graph Memory Server. Nothing to install.

What risk level is create_lesson? +

create_lesson is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.

Can I rate-limit create_lesson? +

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

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

create_lesson is provided by the Knowledge Graph Memory Server MCP server (t1nker-1220/memories-with-lessons-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Knowledge Graph Memory Server tool call.
