Get recent log lines, optionally filtered by category and/or severity.
AI agents call get_recent_logs 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 retrieves and queries existing log data with optional filtering parameters. It has no side effects, does not execute code or commands, does not modify data, and does not delete or move resources. It is a pure read operation similar to 'get_build_errors', 'get_log_stats', and 'search_logs' on the same server.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_recent_logs' and description 'Get recent log lines, optionally filtered by category and/or severity' indicate data retrieval with no modification or execution capability.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get recent log lines, optionally filtered by category and/or severity. 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_recent_logs: 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_recent_logs 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_recent_logs 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_recent_logs. 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_recent_logs 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.
