What list_audit_events does on Mcpg
AI agents call list_audit_events to retrieve information from Mcpg without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
Why list_audit_events is rated Low
The tool appears to retrieve or query audit event logs from the PostgreSQL database. Despite the empty description, the naming convention ('list_*') strongly suggests a read-only operation that retrieves existing data without side effects. Audit event listing is a common PostgreSQL administrative function for viewing historical records. No evidence suggests data modification, deletion, or external execution.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_audit_events' indicates retrieval of audit event records with no modification capability. The 'list' prefix is characteristic of read-only query operations.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs list_audit_events safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Mcpg, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For list_audit_events, this is the rule to start with:
list_audit_events 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 Mcpg, apply this rule, and every list_audit_events call is checked against it from then on.
