Why compose-logs needs a policy

This tool performs a straightforward retrieval operation on Docker Compose logs. It has no side effects, does not modify data, does not execute commands, and does not delete or create resources.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'compose-logs' and description 'Retrieves Docker Compose service logs as structured entries' indicate a read-only operation that queries existing log data without modification or execution.

POLICY

How to control compose-logs

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

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "compose-logs": {}
  }
}

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

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

FAQ

Questions about compose-logs

What does the compose-logs tool do? +

Retrieves Docker Compose service logs as structured entries. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Make MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on compose-logs? +

Register the Make MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for compose-logs: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Make. Nothing to install.

What risk level is compose-logs? +

compose-logs is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.

Can I rate-limit compose-logs? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the compose-logs rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.

How do I block compose-logs completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for compose-logs. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.

What MCP server provides compose-logs? +

compose-logs is provided by the Make MCP server (Dave-London/Pare). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Make tool call.

Start from Make, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
