Show the central audit trail: who called what, when, status, latency.
AI agents call gateway_audit to retrieve information from Claude Team MCP without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves and displays audit trail information (call history, timestamps, status, performance metrics). It queries a log system to show what actions occurred without modifying, deleting, or triggering any operations. While audit logs may contain sensitive information about system activity, the tool itself performs a passive read operation with no side effects.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'gateway_audit' and description 'Show the central audit trail: who called what, when, status, latency' indicates retrieval and querying of existing audit log data with no modifications.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Show the central audit trail: who called what, when, status, latency. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Claude Team MCP MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Claude Team MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for gateway_audit: 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 Claude Team MCP. Nothing to install.
gateway_audit 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 gateway_audit 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 gateway_audit. 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.
gateway_audit is provided by the Claude Team MCP server (lakshan12367/mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
