Why get_audit_log needs a policy

Audit logs are sensitive information that reveals admin actions, moderation events, and user behavior patterns. While this is fundamentally a Read operation (no data modification), audit log access carries medium severity because it could expose security-sensitive details about Discord moderation, permission changes, or member actions.

From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Fetch recent audit log entries' — retrieves data with 'no side effects'. The word 'Fetch' and 'Optionally filter' confirm this is a query operation.

How to control get_audit_log

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Discord, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for get_audit_log:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "get_audit_log": {}
  }
}

get_audit_log is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  1. Create a free account and register Discord — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
