THE RISK

Low Risk

Why get_task_logs needs a policy

This tool retrieves historical task logs, which is a non-destructive query operation. It has no side effects, cannot modify data, and poses minimal security risk. The blast radius is limited to potential exposure of log contents, which typically contain non-sensitive operational metadata.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_task_logs' and description 'Retrieve logs for a specific task' indicate read-only retrieval of existing data with no modification or execution.

POLICY

How to control get_task_logs

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

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "get_task_logs": {}
  }
}

get_task_logs is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Create a free account and register Treasure Data MCP Server — nothing to install.
Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
