Governance: review, publish, and agent permissions
How review and publishing work in Memrio, and what each agent permission — read drafts, can edit, can publish — actually allows.
The point of the registry is that agents read what a person approved. Three mechanisms make that true: versions with review, per-agent page sets, and explicit agent permissions.
Versions and review#
Editing a published page never changes what agents see until a new version is approved. A submitted version carries a change summary and shows up for reviewers, who approve or reject with a note. Workspaces can require review for everyone or let editors publish directly.
Each page has a review frequency. When it lapses the page is flagged so someone re-confirms it is still right — stale knowledge is the failure mode this exists to prevent.
Page sets#
An agent sees only pages in its set. Add individual pages or whole subtrees. A support bot gets customer-facing policy; an engineering agent gets runbooks; neither sees the other. Sections group pages but are not readable themselves.
Agent permissions#
| Setting | Default | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| Active | on | Paused agents reject every MCP call with 403. |
| Read drafts | off | For test agents only. Lets the agent read draft and in-review pages. |
| Can edit pages | off | Adds get_page_source, create_page, update_page, append_to_page. Writes are submitted for review. |
| Can publish without review | off | Trusted bots only. Writes go live immediately for every other agent. |
Human roles#
| Role | Can |
|---|---|
| Viewer | Read pages and activity. |
| Editor | Create and edit pages, submit for review. |
| Admin | Approve versions, manage agents and keys, change workspace settings. |
| Owner | Everything, plus billing and members. |
Audit trail#
Activity records every human and agent action — created, edited, submitted, approved, rejected, published, key created, key revoked. The request log records every MCP call with the pages hit. Together they answer “why did the agent say that?” with a page and a version number.
