Most Google Cloud services write Cloud Audit Logs to record administrative activities and data access across your Google Cloud resources. You can use the table in this document to find the audit logging reference documentation and API service name for each supported Google Cloud service.
Google Cloud MCP servers write Data Access audit logs that are service-specific and
use the format SERVICE_NAME.googleapis.com/mcp. You can enable these Data
Access logs by turning on audit logging for mcp.googleapis.com in
the IAM AuditConfig object.
