Run a pivot table report with row and column dimensions. ⚠️ TOKEN OPTIMIZATION: Pivot reports can be VERY large. Limit dimensions and use small date ranges. Recommended for analysis, not raw data extraction.
AI agents call ga_run_pivot_report 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 queries Google Analytics data and returns a pivot report. It reads/retrieves analytics data with no side effects. The warning about token optimization confirms it only reads data. Severity is low as misuse would only result in excessive data retrieval or token consumption.
