Show enabled connectors, defaults, and key analysis thresholds.
AI agents call capabilities to retrieve information from SEO Analytics MCP without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves and displays metadata about the server's enabled connectors, default settings, and analysis thresholds. It is a read-only operation with no side effects—no data is created, modified, deleted, or executed. The blast radius if misused is minimal, as it only exposes system configuration information that an unauthorized user could already infer through other means.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'capabilities' and description 'Show enabled connectors, defaults, and key analysis thresholds' indicate a query operation that retrieves configuration and status information without modifying or executing actions.

capabilities is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the capabilities rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.
