# nasantrs.reports.stats

Get aggregate statistics for the entire NASA Technical Reports Server corpus. Returns total document count (645,000+) and breakdowns by: document type (conference paper, contractor report, technical memorandum, presentation, reprint, etc.), subject category (astrophysics, aerodynamics, geophysics, propulsion, etc.), and NASA center (JPL, GSFC, LaRC, MSFC, ARC, JSC, etc.). Also returns the top research keywords across the corpus. Useful for understanding the scope and distribution of NASA's documented research output.

## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0)

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",

  "params": {
    "name": "nasantrs.reports.stats",
    "arguments": {}
  }
}
```

## Why nasantrs.reports.stats is rated Low

Tool retrieves and aggregates pre-computed statistics from corpus with no side effects or modifications.

From the tool's own definition: "Get aggregate statistics, document count, breakdowns, research keywords"

Risk signals: Bulk/mass operation — affects multiple targets

## Use case

AI agents call nasantrs.reports.stats to retrieve information from Apibase without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

Verdict: **Allowed**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches Apibase:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "nasantrs.reports.stats": {}
  }
}
```
