Retrieve multiple documents by glob pattern or comma-separated list.
AI agents call multi_get 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 performs read-only retrieval of documents matching specified patterns. It has no side effects—no data is modified, deleted, created, or executed. The glob pattern and comma-separated list are query parameters, not executable code. The pattern of sibling tools (diary_read, get, find_similar) on the same memory server confirms this is a retrieval function.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'multi_get' and description 'Retrieve multiple documents by glob pattern or comma-separated list' indicate data retrieval with no modification, creation, deletion, or execution capabilities.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access multi_get 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 multi_get:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"multi_get": {}
}
}multi_get is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Retrieve multiple documents by glob pattern or comma-separated list. 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 multi_get: 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.
multi_get 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 multi_get 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 multi_get. 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.
multi_get 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.
