List data streams for the configured GA4 property. ⚠️ TOKEN OPTIMIZATION: Returns summary information. Use this to find measurement IDs for Measurement Protocol.
AI agents call ga_list_data_streams to retrieve information from MCP Google Analytics Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves metadata about data streams in a GA4 property—a read-only operation with no side effects. The blast radius of misuse is minimal; an attacker could enumerate data streams but cannot modify analytics data, execute code, delete records, or incur financial costs. It serves an informational purpose to support other operations.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'ga_list_data_streams' and description 'List data streams for the configured GA4 property' indicate a retrieval operation.

List data streams for the configured GA4 property. ⚠️ TOKEN OPTIMIZATION: Returns summary information. Use this to find measurement IDs for Measurement Protocol. It is categorised as a Read tool in the MCP Google Analytics Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the MCP Google Analytics Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for ga_list_data_streams: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches MCP Google Analytics Server. Nothing to install.
ga_list_data_streams 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 ga_list_data_streams 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.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for ga_list_data_streams. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.
ga_list_data_streams is provided by the MCP Google Analytics Server MCP server (leosepulveda/mcp-google-analytics). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
