List all registered log sources.
AI agents call list_log_sources to retrieve information from MCP Log Analyzer without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool performs a read-only query operation that enumerates log sources without side effects. It neither modifies, executes, deletes, nor moves resources. The blast radius if misused is minimal—an agent could discover what log sources exist, but cannot alter or access their contents through this tool alone. This is a classic Read category tool.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_log_sources' and description 'List all registered log sources' indicate a retrieval operation with no modification or deletion of data.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
List all registered log sources. It is categorised as a Read tool in the MCP Log Analyzer MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the MCP Log Analyzer MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for list_log_sources: 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 MCP Log Analyzer. Nothing to install.
list_log_sources 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 list_log_sources 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 list_log_sources. 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.
list_log_sources is provided by the MCP Log Analyzer MCP server (sedwardstx/demomcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
