What log does on Search
AI agents call log to retrieve information from Search without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
Why log is rated Low
This tool queries and retrieves commit history in a structured format. It performs a read-only operation on version control data without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. The sole action is data retrieval, making it a Read category tool with low severity risk since commit history is typically non-sensitive metadata in most repositories.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'log' and description 'Returns commit history as structured data' indicate retrieval of historical information with no modification or execution capability.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs log safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Search, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For log, this is the rule to start with:
log is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Search, apply this rule, and every log call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about log
Returns commit history as structured data. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Search MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Search MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for log: 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 Search. Nothing to install.
log is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the log 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.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for log. 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.
log is provided by the Search MCP server (Dave-London/Pare). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
