What get_container_logs does on Synology MCP Server

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

Why get_container_logs needs a policy

The tool retrieves and queries existing log data from a Docker container without modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. Log retrieval is a read-only action that does not change system state. Severity is low because logs typically contain operational information but not sensitive credentials in a properly configured system, and the blast radius of misuse is limited to information disclosure.

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'get_container_logs' and description states 'Get recent log lines for a Docker container' — this is a retrieval operation with no side effects.
