query_logs

Query buffered logs from the Tauri app (both Rust-side log!() output and webview console.* calls).

How to control query_logs ↓

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

Low Risk

This tool only accesses existing log data for inspection and debugging purposes. It does not create, modify, delete, or execute any operations. Querying logs has minimal blast radius since logs are typically read-only diagnostic data and retrieving them does not affect application state or external systems.

From the tool's definition The tool 'query_logs' retrieves buffered logs from the Tauri app without modifying them. The description states it queries (retrieves) 'Rust-side log!() output and webview console.* calls', which is a read-only operation.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access query_logs gives an agent:

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

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

query_logs 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 Tauri Plugin — 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.

What does the query_logs tool do? +

Query buffered logs from the Tauri app (both Rust-side log!() output and webview console.* calls). It is categorised as a Read tool in the Tauri Plugin MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on query_logs? +

Register the Tauri Plugin MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for query_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 Tauri Plugin. Nothing to install.

What risk level is query_logs? +

query_logs is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.

Can I rate-limit query_logs? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the query_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.

How do I block query_logs completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for query_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.

What MCP server provides query_logs? +

query_logs is provided by the Tauri Plugin MCP server (p3gleg/tauri-plugin-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Tauri Plugin tool call.
