Claim 7:
8. A method, comprising:
receiving, at a memory device comprising a memory die, a plurality of commands;
determining whether each command of the plurality of commands is included in a set of defined commands for a memory array of the memory die;
decoding a first command of the plurality of commands for execution on the memory array of the memory die based at least in part on determining that the first command is included in the set of defined commands;
setting a mode register to a value based at least in part on determining that a second command of the plurality of commands is absent from the set of defined commands, the value indicating a safe mode of operation for the memory device, the safe mode allowing execution of a read command and restricting execution of a write command; and
blocking the second command of the plurality of commands from being decoded based at least in part on determining that the second command is absent from the set of defined commands.
