List visible XMemo memories matching a search query or path. Provide either query or path.
AI agents call xmemo_memory_list to retrieve information from Openclaw Memory without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool queries and returns memory records without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any side effects. It is a straightforward data retrieval function analogous to a 'list' or 'search' operation. The blast radius is minimal—misuse would at worst expose or leak information already stored in memory, which is a confidentiality concern rather than an integrity or availability risk.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'xmemo_memory_list' and description 'List visible XMemo memories matching a search query or path' indicate a retrieval operation with no modification or deletion of data.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
List visible XMemo memories matching a search query or path. Provide either query or path. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Openclaw Memory MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Openclaw Memory MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for xmemo_memory_list: 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 Openclaw Memory. Nothing to install.
xmemo_memory_list is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the xmemo_memory_list 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.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for xmemo_memory_list. 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.
xmemo_memory_list is provided by the Openclaw Memory MCP server (@xmemo/openclaw-memory). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
xmemo_memory_list is one line of Openclaw Memory's registry record.
The record carries the whole server: verified identity, auth posture, risk grade, every tool classified, recommended policy — re-checked continuously.
