Create a new analytics report request for an app
AI agents use create_analytics_report_request to create or update resources in App Store Connect — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your App Store Connect environment.
This tool creates a new analytics report request, which is a reversible data modification operation. It does not execute arbitrary code, delete data, move money, or have destructive side effects. While generating reports could potentially inform business decisions, the act of requesting a report itself is a standard Write operation.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'create_analytics_report_request' and description states 'Create a new analytics report request for an app'. The verb 'create' indicates a Write operation that adds a new record reversibly.

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and App Store Connect, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for create_analytics_report_request:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"create_analytics_report_request": {
"limits": [
{
"counter": "create_analytics_report_request_rate",
"window": "minute",
"max": 30,
"scope": "grant"
}
]
}
}
}create_analytics_report_request 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.
