What get_recent_tool_calls does on OODA Computer Control

AI agents call get_recent_tool_calls to retrieve information from OODA Computer Control without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Why get_recent_tool_calls needs a policy

This is a Read operation—it retrieves data from the audit log without side effects. However, severity is elevated to medium because audit logs may contain sensitive information about system commands, file paths, credentials in arguments, or other privileged operations executed on the system. An AI agent with this tool could reconstruct attack sequences or discover sensitive data inadvertently logged.

From the tool's definition Tool name and description indicate retrieval of historical data: 'Get recent tool call history from the audit log.' No modification, deletion, or execution capabilities described. The function purely queries and returns existing audit log entries.

How to control get_recent_tool_calls

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

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

get_recent_tool_calls 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 OODA Computer Control — 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.
