Why get_instance_logs needs a policy

This tool retrieves log data for informational purposes only. Reading logs does not modify state, execute operations, or produce irreversible changes. Even in a server administration context, log retrieval is a passive query operation with minimal blast radius—worst case, an agent gains visibility into system events without affecting system functionality or data integrity.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_instance_logs' and description 'Get instance-level logs' indicate data retrieval with no modification or side effects. The verb 'get' is a standard read operation.

How to control get_instance_logs

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

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

get_instance_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 TeamSpeak MCP — 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.
