Summary
dbt-mcp is a Model Context Protocol server for interacting with dbt. Prior to 1.17.1, DbtMCP.call_tool() in src/dbt_mcp/mcp/server.py logged the raw arguments dictionary at INFO level before each tool call and at ERROR level on exceptions, and configure_file_logging() wrote those records to dbt-mcp.log when DBT_MCP_SERVER_FILE_LOGGING=true, preserving sensitive sql_query, vars, and node_selection values in plaintext without automatic rotation or deletion. This issue is fixed in version 1.17.1.
