What follow_execution_logs does on Kestra Python MCP Server
AI agents call follow_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.
Why follow_execution_logs is rated Low
The name implies following (reading/tailing) execution logs, which is a read operation with no side effects. Confidence is reduced due to empty description, but the pattern of 'follow logs' consistently means read/stream in logging contexts. Sibling tools like 'download_execution_logs' and 'delete_execution_logs' suggest a log-management family where this tool retrieves log output.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'follow_execution_logs' suggests reading/streaming log data from an execution

The rule that runs follow_execution_logs safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Kestra Python MCP Server, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For follow_execution_logs, this is the rule to start with:
follow_execution_logs 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 Kestra Python MCP Server, apply this rule, and every follow_execution_logs call is checked against it from then on.
