How to control cancel_logs_insight_query

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "cancel_logs_insight_query": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "cancel_logs_insight_query_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 10,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

cancel_logs_insight_query stays usable, but rate-capped — a runaway agent can't fire it dozens of times a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
