Get the job execution log with recent job runs.
AI agents call get_job_execution_log to retrieve information from Simple MCP without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves historical execution logs for jobs—a read-only operation. It queries and returns information about past job runs without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. The low severity reflects minimal risk; misuse would only expose log data, not alter system state or execute code.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_job_execution_log' and description 'Get the job execution log with recent job runs' indicate data retrieval with no modification or side effects.

Get the job execution log with recent job runs. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Simple MCP MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Simple MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_job_execution_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 Simple MCP. Nothing to install.
get_job_execution_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 get_job_execution_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 get_job_execution_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.
get_job_execution_log is provided by the Simple MCP server (karar-hayder/simple-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
