## Description

Read log entries from Google Cloud Logging, optionally scoped to a single log via `Log name`. The `Log name`, `Severity`, and `Filter` inputs are combined with `AND`, and up to `Max Results` entries are returned. [See the documentation](https://cloud.google.com/nodejs/docs/reference/logging/latest/logging/logging#_google_cloud_logging_Logging_getEntries_member_1_)

## Props

| Prop | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| `logName` | `string` | No | Restrict results to a single log, e.g. my-log. Run the Logging - List Logs action to find valid log names. Leave empty to read across all logs in the project. |
| `severity` | `string` | No | Restrict results to entries of this severity. See the documentation |
| `filter` | `string` | No | An advanced logs filter to further narrow results, e.g. severity>=ERROR AND timestamp>="2026-01-01T00:00:00Z". Combined with the Log name and Severity inputs using AND. See the documentation |
| `orderBy` | `string` | No | The order in which to return entries, based on the entry timestamp. Defaults to newest first. |
| `maxResults` | `integer` | No | The maximum number of entries to return. |

  projectId: process.env.PIPEDREAM_PROJECT_ID!,
  clientId: process.env.PIPEDREAM_CLIENT_ID!,
  clientSecret: process.env.PIPEDREAM_CLIENT_SECRET!,
  projectEnvironment: "production",
})

const accessToken = await pd.rawAccessToken

const transport = new StreamableHTTPClientTransport(
  new URL("https://remote.mcp.pipedream.net/v3"),

    },
  },
)

const mcp = new Client({ name: "my-agent", version: "1.0.0" })
await mcp.connect(transport)

const { tools } = await mcp.listTools()

// listTools() hands your model this tool's input schema, so it can
// fill the arguments itself:
const result = await mcp.callTool({
  name: "google_cloud-logging-read-log-entries",
  arguments: {
    logName: "Log name",
    severity: "Severity",
  },
})
