WHAT IT DOES

What usage_stats does on Prism — Data Enrichment for AI Agents

AI agents call usage_stats to retrieve information from Prism — Data Enrichment for AI Agents without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

RISK

Why usage_stats is rated Low

This is a simple analytics/monitoring tool that queries and displays usage statistics about the MCP server itself. It retrieves historical data with no side effects, no data modification, and no external execution. The severity is low because misuse would only expose usage patterns rather than sensitive user data or enable destructive actions.

From the tool's definition Tool returns 'summary stats' and 'recent activity' with no modification capability. Description explicitly states 'Return' (retrieval) and lists read-only metrics: 'top tools called, success rate, recent activity'.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs usage_stats safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Prism — Data Enrichment for AI Agents, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For usage_stats, this is the rule to start with:

usage_stats Allowed

usage_stats is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

View as policy code

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "usage_stats": {}
  }
}

ALLOW ONLY THIS TOOL → Instant setup, no code required.

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Prism — Data Enrichment for AI Agents, apply this rule, and every usage_stats call is checked against it from then on.
