WHAT IT DOES

What tracking.capture does on MCP Fullstack

AI agents use tracking.capture to create or update resources in MCP Fullstack — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your MCP Fullstack environment.

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why tracking.capture needs a policy

Capturing/recording an analytics event writes data to an analytics store. This is a reversible write operation (logging an event) with low blast radius — at worst it could pollute analytics data, but it cannot delete, execute arbitrary code, or cause financial harm.

Verdict

tracking.capture Rate-limited

tracking.capture stays usable, but capped — an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
