List all data streams for a specific Google Analytics 4 property.
AI agents call ga4_admin_api_list_data_streams to retrieve information from Google Analytics 4 Admin 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 enumerates existing configuration data from Google Analytics 4 without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an attacker gains visibility into which data streams feed a property, but cannot alter tracking configuration, delete data, or access raw analytics data itself. This is consistent with Read category classification.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_data_streams' and description 'List all data streams' indicate a retrieval/query operation with no side effects.
