Extract logs from Metro bundler UI
AI agents call get_metro_logs to retrieve information from MCP Connect without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves diagnostic/debug logs from the Metro bundler (React Native's development server). Log extraction is a read-only operation with no side effects, no code execution, no data modification, and no destructive capability. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an attacker gains visibility into build logs but cannot modify app state, execute commands, or cause harm beyond information disclosure.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_metro_logs' and description 'Extract logs from Metro bundler UI' indicate retrieval of log data with no modification, deletion, or execution capability.

Extract logs from Metro bundler UI. It is categorised as a Read tool in the MCP Connect MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the MCP Connect MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_metro_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 MCP Connect. Nothing to install.
get_metro_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 get_metro_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 get_metro_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.
get_metro_logs is provided by the MCP Connect MCP server (plaintest/mcp-connect). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
