Consensus rules define valid transactions and a nodes mempool policy defines what it considers standard? Are there any consensus rules surrounding the size of op_return?

Yes, that’s right. Whatever a node accepts to its mempool, it will use to build block templates and relay to peers. The name is derived from a function called
isStandard(…)
in the Bitcoin Core code base, which implemented some of the mempool policies.Are there any consensus rules surrounding the size of op_return?
OP_RETURN outputs are not limited by consensus rules other than indirectly per the block size limit.
