WHAT IT DOES

What usage_stats does on GoCreative Agent API

AI agents call usage_stats to retrieve information from GoCreative Agent API 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 tool queries and returns historical usage data and statistics. It has no side effects, does not create or modify data, does not execute operations, and does not involve financial transactions. It is a pure Read operation used for observability and debugging of API integration health.

From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Return summary stats' of server usage—retrieves aggregated metrics and activity logs. Explicitly marked 'Free' and positioned as a diagnostic/monitoring tool ('Use to verify your own integration').

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 GoCreative Agent API, 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 GoCreative Agent API, apply this rule, and every usage_stats call is checked against it from then on.
