switch_project · Remote Memory MCP Server MCP: Risk & Policy

WHAT IT DOES

What switch_project does on Remote Memory MCP Server

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

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why switch_project needs a policy

switch_project modifies application state (the active project context) and triggers data loading, making it a Write operation rather than Read. It is not Destructive because switching projects is reversible (another project can be selected). It is not Execute because it doesn't run arbitrary code or shell commands.

From the tool's definition Tool description (translated from Korean) states: 'Change the active project. After changing, immediately load the project data.' This involves switching context and loading project data, which constitutes a state modification operation.

Verdict

switch_project Rate-limited

switch_project 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.

What risk level is switch_project? +

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

Can I rate-limit switch_project? +

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