WHAT IT DOES

What federation_audit does on Claude Flow

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

RISK

Why federation_audit is rated Low

This tool retrieves and queries existing audit log data without modifying, deleting, or executing external operations. The filtering parameter does not change the underlying behavior—it only affects which logs are returned. This is a straightforward information retrieval task with no side effects, making it a Read category tool with low severity.

From the tool's definition 'Query federation audit logs' — explicit read operation on log data with no modification capability. 'optional compliance mode filtering' indicates selective retrieval only.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs federation_audit safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Claude Flow, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For federation_audit, this is the rule to start with:

federation_audit Allowed

federation_audit is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "federation_audit": {}
  }
}

ALLOW ONLY THIS TOOL → Instant setup, no code required.

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Claude Flow, apply this rule, and every federation_audit call is checked against it from then on.
