WHAT IT DOES

What get_analytics does on Ncp

AI agents call get_analytics to retrieve information from Ncp 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_analytics is rated Low

This tool retrieves analytics data from a YouTube channel. It queries existing information without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing operations. The action is read-only with minimal blast radius if misused—an AI agent could only access analytics data it's authorized to view, not alter any content or commit financial obligations.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_analytics' and description 'Get YouTube channel analytics' indicate data retrieval with no modification or side effects.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs get_analytics safely

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

get_analytics Allowed

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

policy.json

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

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

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Ncp, apply this rule, and every get_analytics call is checked against it from then on.
