What get_audit_log does on Truenas Ws

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

Why get_audit_log needs a policy

Querying audit logs is a read-only operation that retrieves existing log data without side effects. No data is created, modified, deleted, or executed. The blast radius is minimal—an AI agent could at worst retrieve sensitive audit information, but cannot alter system state or logs themselves through this tool.

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'get_audit_log' and description states 'Query audit log entries' — verb 'query' and 'get' indicate retrieval only. Audit logs are read-only historical records of events (auth events, config changes) with no modification or deletion capability.
