Get summary statistics from the audit log.
AI agents call get_audit_stats to retrieve information from Overlord MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves and aggregates summary statistics from audit logs. It is a read-only query operation with no capability to modify, delete, or execute actions. The audit log itself is a record of past events in the Overlord C2 framework, and retrieving statistics from it poses minimal risk—an agent could gain visibility into system activity but cannot alter it.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_audit_stats' and description 'Get summary statistics from the audit log' indicate a retrieval operation that queries existing audit log data without modification or side effects.

Register the Overlord MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_audit_stats: 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 Overlord MCP Server. Nothing to install.
get_audit_stats 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 get_audit_stats 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 get_audit_stats. 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.
get_audit_stats is provided by the Overlord MCP Server MCP server (skeeminator/overlord-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
