get_audit_log
AI agents call get_audit_log to retrieve information from PolicyGuard without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
Audit logs are historical records of events. Retrieving them is a read-only operation with no side effects—it does not modify policies, delete records, execute code, or perform financial transactions. Even in a security governance context, querying audit trails is fundamentally a data retrieval action.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_audit_log' indicates retrieval of audit/historical data without modification. No description provided to contradict this interpretation. Function naming convention (get_*) is typical for read-only operations.

Register the PolicyGuard MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_audit_log: 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 PolicyGuard. Nothing to install.
get_audit_log 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_audit_log 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_audit_log. 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.
