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

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

## Why download_execution_logs is rated Low

The tool downloads (retrieves) execution logs, which is a read operation that queries and exports data for review. No state is modified, created, deleted, or executed. While the empty description reduces confidence slightly, the semantics of 'download' and 'logs' in the context of a workflow management platform strongly indicate a non-destructive read operation.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'download_execution_logs' indicates retrieval of log data. The empty description is uninformative, but the sibling tools on this server (execute_flow, create_flow_from_yaml, delete_execution_logs, follow_execution_logs) establish context that this…"

## Use case

AI agents call download_execution_logs to retrieve information from Kestra Python MCP Server 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 Kestra Python MCP Server:

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

## 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`
