Returns the property's custom dimensions and metrics.
AI agents call get_custom_dimensions_and_metrics to retrieve information from Google Analytics MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool queries and retrieves metadata about custom dimensions and metrics from a Google Analytics property. It performs no write, execute, or destructive operations—it only fetches configuration information. The data returned is analytics metadata, not sensitive user data, making the blast radius minimal even if misused by an AI agent.
