Limitations
Archive-only data source
MCP runs queries only against archive storage. It does not support environments that use only high-tier storage (Frequent Search).
This can lead to the following scenarios:
-
Time-based log queries, such as show logs in last 10 minutes, return zero results even though you see logs in Frequent Search.
-
Any natural language query that targets recent logs appears empty because MCP cannot access non-archived data.
To avoid these issues, configure archive storage for your account and ensure relevant logs are being archived. For setup steps, see Connect S3 archive.
