## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0)

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",

  "params": {
    "name": "audit_query",

## Why audit_query is rated Low

This tool performs a query operation on audit logs, which is a retrieval/read action with no side effects. It allows filtering and viewing of existing log entries but does not create, modify, delete, execute code, or move financial assets.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'audit_query' and description 'Query the TrueNAS audit log. Supports filtering by services and applying query filters and options.' indicate a read-only operation that retrieves and queries existing audit log data without modifying or deleting it."

## Use case

AI agents call audit_query to retrieve information from Truenas without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

Verdict: **Allowed**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches Truenas:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "audit_query": {}
  }
}
```
