What list_spaces does on Evermemos

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

Why list_spaces needs a policy

This is a straightforward query operation that retrieves metadata about available memory spaces. It has no side effects, does not execute code, and does not modify or delete data. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an attacker could only discover what memory spaces exist, which is low-sensitivity information in the context of a memory management system. It falls clearly into the Read category.

From the tool's definition The tool name 'list_spaces' and description 'List MCP-visible memory spaces' indicates a retrieval operation that enumerates available memory spaces without modifying, executing, or deleting anything.

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

How to control list_spaces

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

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "list_spaces": {}
  }
}

list_spaces is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  1. Create a free account and register Evermemos — 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.

How do I enforce a policy on list_spaces? +

Register the Evermemos MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for list_spaces: 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 Evermemos. Nothing to install.

What risk level is list_spaces? +

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

Can I rate-limit list_spaces? +

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

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

list_spaces is provided by the Evermemos MCP server (tt-a1i/evermemos-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
