WHAT IT DOES

What ontap_audit_log does on Google Cloud NetApp Volumes MCP Server

AI agents use ontap_audit_log to create or update resources in Google Cloud NetApp Volumes MCP Server — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Google Cloud NetApp Volumes MCP Server environment.

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why ontap_audit_log needs a policy

The tool 'controls' audit logging, meaning it can enable, disable, or modify audit logging behavior for a session. This is a Write operation (modifying configuration/state). It doesn't delete data irreversibly, execute code, or involve finances. Severity is medium because disabling audit logging could mask malicious activity, but the blast radius is limited to session-level audit trails.
