# log

Returns commit history as structured data.

Agent View of the PolicyLayer registry record for `log`. HTML page: https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-dave-london-pare-test/log

## Facts

- Tool: `log`
- Server: Test (`Dave-London/Pare`) — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-dave-london-pare-test.md
- Homepage: https://github.com/Dave-London/Pare
- Risk category: Read (Low risk)
- Registry record: grade F, identity unverified
- Server rate-limited: no
- Parameters: 0
- Recommended policy verdict: Allowed

## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0)

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "log",
    "arguments": {}
  }
}
```

## Why log is rated Low

The tool queries and retrieves existing commit history data in a structured format. This is a read-only operation that does not modify, execute, delete, or transfer funds. The only potential concern would be if commit history contains sensitive information, but that is an information classification issue rather than a tool capability risk.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool description states it 'Returns commit history as structured data' - a purely retrieval operation with no modification or side effects."

## Use case

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

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

Verdict: **Allowed**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches Test:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "log": {}
  }
}
```

## For agents

This record is a snapshot. Live verdicts and the full registry:

- Check every server in your MCP config at once: `npx -y policylayer stack`
- Vet a server before you add it: install the mcp-precheck skill — `npx skills add https://policylayer.com` (skill text: https://policylayer.com/skill.md)
- Query the registry over MCP: endpoint `https://api.policylayer.com/mcp` — tools `check_mcp_server`, `check_mcp_stack`, `check_tool`, `search_registry`, `get_change_events`
