List log files for a pipeline run, sorted by modification time.
AI agents call list_logs to retrieve information from Tacc Mcp Bio without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
The tool queries and returns log file listings from a completed or ongoing pipeline run. It has no side effects—it merely enumerates existing log files sorted by modification time. This is a straightforward data retrieval operation consistent with the Read category.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'list_logs' and description states it 'List log files for a pipeline run, sorted by modification time.' This is a read-only operation that retrieves and displays information without modifying, deleting, or executing anything.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
List log files for a pipeline run, sorted by modification time. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Tacc Mcp Bio MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Tacc Mcp Bio MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for list_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 Tacc Mcp Bio. Nothing to install.
list_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 list_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 list_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.
list_logs is provided by the Tacc Mcp Bio MCP server (narasimhan-lab/tacc-mcp-bio). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
