List all active log categories with their message counts.
AI agents call get_log_categories to retrieve information from Unreal Editor without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool queries and lists existing log categories and their statistics from the Unreal Engine editor. It performs passive data retrieval without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing anything. The sibling tools (get_build_errors, get_build_status, search_logs, tail_log) further confirm this server's read-only diagnostic purpose.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_log_categories' and description 'List all active log categories with their message counts' indicate a retrieval/query operation with no side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
List all active log categories with their message counts. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Unreal Editor MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Unreal Editor MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_log_categories: 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 Unreal Editor. Nothing to install.
get_log_categories 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_log_categories 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_log_categories. 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_log_categories is provided by the Unreal Editor MCP server (tumourlove/deprecated-unreal-editor-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
