MCP Audit Log

An MCP Audit Log is a detailed ledger that records all protocol activities, focusing primarily on state-altering actions like tool calls.

What's Recorded?

• Timestamp: When the action occurred.
• Actor: Which user or agent initiated the request.
• Action: The specific tool called or resource read.
• Arguments: The exact parameters passed to the tool.
• Outcome: Whether the operation succeeded or failed, including the response data.

• Compliance: Meeting regulatory requirements for data transparency and accountability.
