# Real-Time Context Engine Auditable Event Methods on Confluent Cloud

Confluent Cloud audit logs contain records of auditable events for authentication and
authorization actions on Real-Time Context Engine topics. When an auditable event occurs, a
message is sent to the audit log and is stored as an audit log record.

The Real-Time Context Engine is a fully managed feature that delivers real-time context from
Apache Kafka® topics to AI agents. For details, see [Real-Time Context Engine in Confluent Cloud](../../../ai/real-time-context-engine/overview.md#real-time-context-engine).

## Real-Time Context Engine authorization

Authorization requests on a Real-Time Context Engine topic generate auditable event messages
for the `io.confluent.context.engine/authorization` event type. The
following table lists the specific action:

| Method name                                 | Action triggering an auditable event message                     |
|---------------------------------------------|------------------------------------------------------------------|
| `io.confluent.context.engine/authorization` | A request for authorization on a Real-Time Context Engine topic. |

## Real-Time Context Engine management and operations

All Real-Time Context Engine client requests made through the Model Context Protocol (MCP)
generate auditable event messages for the
`io.confluent.context.engine/request` event type. The following table
lists the specific actions:

| Method name                  | Action triggering an auditable event message                            |
|------------------------------|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| `mcp.tools/call.listTopics`  | A request to list Real-Time Context Engine topics.                      |
| `mcp.tools/call.getMetadata` | A request to describe the schema for an Real-Time Context Engine topic. |
| `mcp.tools/call.getData`     | A request to query data for an Real-Time Context Engine topic.          |
