What memory_verify does on Jarvis Orb

AI agents use memory_verify to create or update resources in Jarvis Orb — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Jarvis Orb environment.

Why memory_verify needs a policy

This tool modifies existing memory records by verifying (marking as verified), superseding (replacing old with new), or marking contradictions between memories. These are reversible state changes to stored data, fitting the Write category.

From the tool's definition Verify, supersede, or contradict a memory. Actions: verify, supersede (old:new), contradict (a:b).

How to control memory_verify

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Jarvis Orb, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for memory_verify:

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

memory_verify 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 Jarvis Orb — 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.

Questions about memory_verify

What does the memory_verify tool do? +

Verify, supersede, or contradict a memory. Actions: verify, supersede (old:new), contradict (a:b). It is categorised as a Write tool in the Jarvis Orb MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

How do I enforce a policy on memory_verify? +

Register the Jarvis Orb MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for memory_verify: 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 Jarvis Orb. Nothing to install.

What risk level is memory_verify? +

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

Can I rate-limit memory_verify? +

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

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

memory_verify is provided by the Jarvis Orb MCP server (thestack-ai/jarvis-orb). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Jarvis Orb tool call.

Start from Jarvis Orb, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
