Why get_session_log needs a policy

This tool retrieves historical session information in a structured format. It performs a read-only query operation that does not modify, create, execute, delete, or transfer data. The 'replayable JSON' output is informational only. No external operations are triggered, no code is executed, and no document state is changed. This is purely a data retrieval function.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_session_log' and description 'Return all operations performed this session as replayable JSON' indicate retrieval and querying of session data with no side effects.

How to control get_session_log

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

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

get_session_log 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 Docx — 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.
