Get detailed trace/logs for a specific execution
AI agents call alfred_get_execution_trace to retrieve information from Alfred MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves and queries execution logs/traces, which is a read-only operation with no side effects. However, severity is elevated to medium because execution logs may contain sensitive information (API keys, credentials, user data, or business logic details revealed in trace output), making unauthorized access to logs a moderate risk if an agent misuses this to exfiltrate sensitive data.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'alfred_get_execution_trace' and description 'Get detailed trace/logs for a specific execution' indicate retrieval of historical execution data without modification.

alfred_get_execution_trace 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 alfred_get_execution_trace 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.
