Retrieves Sitecore logs from the log directory.
AI agents call logging-get-logs to retrieve information from SitecoreMCP without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool performs log retrieval only, which is a non-destructive query operation. While logs may contain sensitive information that could inform an attacker, the tool itself does not modify, delete, or execute anything. The impact is limited to information disclosure, making it Read category with low severity.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'logging-get-logs' and description 'Retrieves Sitecore logs from the log directory' indicate a read-only operation that queries/retrieves existing log data with no side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Retrieves Sitecore logs from the log directory. It is categorised as a Read tool in the SitecoreMCP MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Sitecore MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for logging-get-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 SitecoreMCP. Nothing to install.
logging-get-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 logging-get-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 logging-get-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.
logging-get-logs is provided by the Sitecore MCP server (ramseur/mcp-sitecore-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
