Load saved pattern
AI agents call load to retrieve information from Filopastry without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves or queries existing saved patterns from storage. It has no side effects—it does not create, modify, delete, or execute any operations. The action is purely retrieving data, which aligns with the 'Read' category. Severity is low because loading a pattern poses minimal risk; it cannot cause harm even if invoked unexpectedly by an agent.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'load' and description 'Load saved pattern' indicate retrieval of previously stored data without modification, creation, or execution of new operations.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Load saved pattern. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Filopastry MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Filopastry MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for load: 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 Filopastry. Nothing to install.
load 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 load 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 load. 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.
load is provided by the Filopastry MCP server (youwenshao/filopastry). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
