THE RISK

Low Risk

Why get-plugin-trace-logs needs a policy

This tool retrieves diagnostic/logging data from the PowerPlatform system. It has no side effects, does not execute code, does not create or modify records, and does not delete anything. It is purely informational access to existing trace log data, making it a Read category tool with low severity risk.

From the tool's definition Tool name and description indicate retrieval of existing plugin trace logs with filtering options. The verb 'get' and phrase 'with filtering options' confirm a query/retrieval operation with no modification, deletion, or execution capabilities.

POLICY

How to control get-plugin-trace-logs

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and PowerPlatform MCP, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for get-plugin-trace-logs:

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "get-plugin-trace-logs": {}
  }
}

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

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