THE RISK

Low Risk

Why get-apex-logs needs a policy

This tool retrieves and filters existing debug logs from Salesforce—a read-only operation. There is no data creation, modification, deletion, code execution, or financial impact. While logs may contain sensitive information, the tool itself performs only retrieval operations. Severity is low because the blast radius of misuse is limited to information disclosure rather than system modification or data destruction.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'get-apex-logs' and description 'Get debug logs with filtering and parsing options' indicate retrieval of existing log data without modification.

POLICY

How to control get-apex-logs

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Salesforce MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for get-apex-logs:

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "get-apex-logs": {}
  }
}

get-apex-logs is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Create a free account and register Salesforce MCP Server — nothing to install.
Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
