Retrieve a specific log from a dataset by its unique ID.
AI agents call retrieve_dataset_log to retrieve information from Respan MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool queries and returns existing log data without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing operations. It is a straightforward read operation on monitoring/logging data, presenting minimal risk if misused by an AI agent.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'retrieve_dataset_log' and description states 'Retrieve a specific log from a dataset by its unique ID.' The verb 'retrieve' and the action of fetching by ID indicate data retrieval with no modification or side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Retrieve a specific log from a dataset by its unique ID. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Respan MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Respan MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for retrieve_dataset_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 Respan MCP Server. Nothing to install.
retrieve_dataset_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 retrieve_dataset_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 retrieve_dataset_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.
retrieve_dataset_log is provided by the Respan MCP Server MCP server (respanai/respan-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
