What reflog does on Make

AI agents call reflog to retrieve information from Make without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Why reflog needs a policy

This tool performs read-only operations on reference logs (likely Git reflog). It retrieves historical data for inspection and recovery planning purposes, with no capability to modify, delete, or execute operations. The 'useful for recovery operations' phrase describes the use case but not the tool's direct action—it returns data, not performs recovery.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'reflog' and description 'Returns reference log entries as structured data' indicates it retrieves and queries reference log information. The phrase 'checking if a reflog exists' confirms lookup/inspection functionality without modification.

How to control reflog

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 reflog:

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

reflog 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 Make — 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.

Questions about reflog

What does the reflog tool do? +

Returns reference log entries as structured data, useful for recovery operations. Also supports checking if a reflog exists. 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 reflog? +

Register the Make MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for reflog: 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 reflog? +

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

Can I rate-limit reflog? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the reflog 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 reflog completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for reflog. 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 reflog? +

reflog 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.
