What aggregate_rows does on Query Analytics

AI agents call aggregate_rows to retrieve information from Query Analytics without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Why aggregate_rows needs a policy

This tool performs in-memory aggregation and summarization of already-retrieved GA4 analytics data. It does not fetch, modify, delete, or execute anything externally — it processes existing row data by summing metrics and filtering top N results. This is a pure read/transform operation with no side effects.
