What list_audit_logs does on Taskdog

AI agents call list_audit_logs to retrieve information from Taskdog without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Why list_audit_logs needs a policy

This tool performs read-only retrieval of audit log records with filtering options. It has no side effects, does not create, modify, delete, or execute anything. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an agent could retrieve audit logs but cannot alter task state or perform actions. Classified as Read with low severity.

From the tool's definition Tool description states it 'List audit logs with optional filtering' and returns 'logs list and metadata'. All parameters are filter/query options (task_id, operation, client_name, since, until, failed, limit).

How to control list_audit_logs

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Taskdog, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for list_audit_logs:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "list_audit_logs": {}
  }
}

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

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