Why get_log_destination needs a policy

This tool only retrieves information about a log destination without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. It is a simple data query with no blast radius if misused by an AI agent—the worst outcome would be unauthorized information disclosure about logging configuration.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_log_destination' and description 'Get details for a specific log destination' indicate a retrieval operation with no side effects. The verb 'get' and 'details' confirm read-only querying of existing configuration data.

How to control get_log_destination

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

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

get_log_destination 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 Linode MCP Server — 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.
