What logs does on Codehooks Io MCP Server

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

Why logs needs a policy

This tool retrieves and displays system logs without creating, modifying, or deleting any data. The filtering and follow options are read-only query features. While logs may contain sensitive information, the tool itself performs no side effects—it only queries and presents existing data, making it a Read category tool with low severity.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'logs' and description 'Show system logs' indicates retrieval of existing log data with no modification capability. Filtering and follow options are query parameters that do not alter data.

How to control logs

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Codehooks Io MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for logs:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "logs": {}
  }
}

logs is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  1. Create a free account and register Codehooks Io MCP Server — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
