List Google Analytics properties. ⚠️ TOKEN OPTIMIZATION: Returns basic property information. Optionally filter by account ID to reduce results.
AI agents call ga_list_properties 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 and lists existing Google Analytics properties without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. It is a standard read/query operation with no side effects. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an attacker gains visibility into account structure but cannot modify analytics data, trigger events, or access sensitive non-property metadata.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'ga_list_properties' and description 'List Google Analytics properties' indicate a query operation that retrieves property metadata. The token optimization note confirms it 'Returns basic property information' without modification.
