Get logs from a Docker container
AI agents call docker_get_logs to retrieve information from Cargoshipper without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves log data from an existing container without modifying, deleting, or executing anything. It is a pure read operation. Even though the server includes destructive tools (cf_delete_dns_record, cf_delete_zone, docker_get_logs itself is confined to log retrieval.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'docker_get_logs' and description states 'Get logs from a Docker container' — this is a retrieval operation with no side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get logs from a Docker container. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Cargoshipper MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Cargoshipper MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for docker_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 Cargoshipper. Nothing to install.
docker_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 docker_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 docker_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.
docker_get_logs is provided by the Cargoshipper MCP server (scarr7981/cargoshipper-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
