WHAT IT DOES

What get_historical_data does on Tideways MCP Server

AI agents call get_historical_data to retrieve information from Tideways MCP Server without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

RISK

Why get_historical_data is rated Low

The tool performs data retrieval and analysis of existing performance metrics from Tideways without any capability to modify, delete, or execute operations. It is a read-only query operation against historical monitoring data. The configurable granularity refers to query parameters (time periods) not execution capabilities. This poses minimal risk if an AI agent misuses it.

From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Retrieve historical performance data' and 'Analyze daily, weekly, or monthly performance trends' — purely retrieval operations with no modification, deletion, or execution of external code.
