AI agents call stream_simulator_logs to retrieve information from Console without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool accesses and retrieves simulator logs in real-time. It is purely observational with no capability to modify, delete, or trigger actions. The 'stream' operation is a data retrieval mechanism, making it a Read category tool.
From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Stream live logs from an iOS Simulator' — a read-only operation that retrieves and streams log data without modifying, deleting, or executing code. No side effects mentioned.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Stream live logs from an iOS Simulator for a duration. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Console MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Console MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for stream_simulator_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 Console. Nothing to install.
stream_simulator_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 stream_simulator_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 stream_simulator_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.
stream_simulator_logs is provided by the Console MCP server (rohithgoud30/console-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
stream_simulator_logs is one line of Console's registry record.
The record carries the whole server: verified identity, auth posture, risk grade, every tool classified, recommended policy — re-checked continuously.
