Why get_session_ids needs a policy

Session IDs are sensitive identifiers that could be used to track or identify individual users. While the tool itself only retrieves existing data (no side effects), the sensitivity of session identifiers and potential for misuse in privacy violations justifies 'high' severity. The empty description reduces confidence slightly, but the naming pattern and server context strongly indicate this is a read operation.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_session_ids' indicates retrieval of session identifiers. Sibling tools are all 'get_*' prefixed (get_active_visitors, get_tracking_data, get_website_metrics, get_websites), consistent with read-only data retrieval.

How to control get_session_ids

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Umami Analytics MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for get_session_ids:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "get_session_ids": {}
  }
}

get_session_ids is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  1. Create a free account and register Umami Analytics MCP Server — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
