list_log_entries

List all log entries across the account

Part of the PagerDuty MCP server. Enforce policies on this tool with Intercept, the open-source MCP proxy.

@pagerduty-mcp Read Risk 2/5

AI agents call list_log_entries to retrieve information from PagerDuty without modifying any data. This is common in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows where the agent needs context before taking action. Because read operations don't change state, they are generally safe to allow without restrictions -- but you may still want rate limits to control API costs.

Even though list_log_entries only reads data, uncontrolled read access can leak sensitive information or rack up API costs. An agent caught in a retry loop could make thousands of calls per minute. A rate limit gives you a safety net without blocking legitimate use.

Read-only tools are safe to allow by default. No rate limit needed unless you want to control costs.

List all log entries across the account. It is categorised as a Read tool in the PagerDuty MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on list_log_entries? +

Add a rule in your Intercept YAML policy under the tools section for list_log_entries. You can allow, deny, rate-limit, or validate arguments. Then run Intercept as a proxy in front of the PagerDuty MCP server.

What risk level is list_log_entries? +

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

Can I rate-limit list_log_entries? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the list_log_entries rule in your Intercept 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 list_log_entries completely? +

Set action: deny in the Intercept policy for list_log_entries. 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 list_log_entries? +
