Search past session logs for a topic.
AI agents call search_logs to retrieve information from MCP Autonomous Analyst without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves historical session log data based on a search topic. It performs a read-only lookup operation with no side effects, no data modification, and no irreversible actions. The worst-case misuse would be unauthorized information disclosure from logs, which is lower risk than tools that execute code, modify data, or trigger external operations present on this server.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'search_logs' and description 'Search past session logs for a topic' indicate a query/retrieval operation with no modification or deletion of data.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Search past session logs for a topic. It is categorised as a Read tool in the MCP Autonomous Analyst MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the MCP Autonomous Analyst MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for search_logs: 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 MCP Autonomous Analyst. Nothing to install.
search_logs 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 search_logs 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 search_logs. 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.
search_logs is provided by the MCP Autonomous Analyst MCP server (madmando/mcp-autonomous-analyst). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
