What query_events does on Audit event mcp

AI agents call query_events to retrieve information from Audit event mcp without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Why query_events needs a policy

query_events retrieves and filters audit log data with no side effects. It queries existing records by session_id, event_type, agent_id, or date range and returns results. No data is created, modified, deleted, or executed. This is a straightforward read operation on an audit log.

From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Filter events' and 'Returns paginated events' with no mention of modification, deletion, or execution. The explicit note that 'input_hash is never returned' further confirms read-only access with built-in redaction.
