Detailed index statistics with content type distribution, staleness info, and memory health.
AI agents call index_stats to retrieve information from ClawMem 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 statistical information about the state of an index (content distribution, staleness, health metrics). It performs no write, delete, execute, or financial operations. The description explicitly frames it as reporting on existing state rather than changing state. This is a diagnostic/monitoring read operation with minimal security risk.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'index_stats' and description 'Detailed index statistics with content type distribution, staleness info, and memory health' indicate pure data retrieval with no modification or side effects.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access index_stats gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and ClawMem, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for index_stats:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"index_stats": {}
}
}index_stats is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Detailed index statistics with content type distribution, staleness info, and memory health. It is categorised as a Read tool in the ClawMem MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the ClawMem MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for index_stats: 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 ClawMem. Nothing to install.
index_stats 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 index_stats 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 index_stats. 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.
index_stats is provided by the ClawMem MCP server (yoloshii/clawmem). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
