Viewing Approval History

The pending requests view only shows requests awaiting a decision. Once a request is approved or rejected, the permanent record lives in the audit log, which captures who made the decision, when, and the rejection reason if one was provided. To review past decisions:

1. Navigate to Audit Logs in the sidebar
2. Filter by Action type — approval decisions are logged as server_request_approved, server_request_rejected, access_request_approved, and access_request_rejected (the filter dropdown is searchable, so typing “approved” surfaces them)
3. Narrow further by user, date range, or resource (a specific MCP server)
4. Click any entry for full details, including the approver and the linked request
