Get the audit log (status change history) for an ADR. Returns the full timeline of status transitions with user, timestamp and optional note. Use this to understand why a decision moved from proposed → accepted or was later deprecated/superseded.
AI agents call adr_get_audit_log to retrieve information from DevFlow MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool queries and retrieves historical audit log data about Architecture Decision Record (ADR) status transitions. It performs read-only retrieval of existing data with no capability to modify, delete, or execute operations. The low severity reflects that audit logs contain only metadata about past decisions and status changes, with no blast radius if misused by an agent.
From the tool's definition Tool 'adr_get_audit_log' description states it 'Get[s] the audit log' and 'Returns the full timeline' — purely retrieval operations with no modification or side effects.

Get the audit log (status change history) for an ADR. Returns the full timeline of status transitions with user, timestamp and optional note. Use this to understand why a decision moved from proposed → accepted or was later deprecated/superseded. It is categorised as a Read tool in the DevFlow MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the DevFlow MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for adr_get_audit_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 DevFlow MCP Server. Nothing to install.
adr_get_audit_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 adr_get_audit_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 adr_get_audit_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.
adr_get_audit_log is provided by the DevFlow MCP Server MCP server (klausfreiberufler/devflow-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
