Retrieves conversation analytics for a specific queue between two dates, returning a representative sample of conversation IDs. Useful for reporting, investigation, or summarisation.
AI agents call sample_conversations_by_queue to retrieve information from Genesys Cloud MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool performs a query operation that fetches existing data (conversation analytics and IDs) from a specific queue within a date range. There is no indication of creating, modifying, deleting, executing code, or committing financial transactions. The retrieval of analytics for analysis purposes is a classic Read category operation.
From the tool's definition Tool description states it 'Retrieves conversation analytics' and returns 'a representative sample of conversation IDs'.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access sample_conversations_by_queue gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Genesys Cloud MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for sample_conversations_by_queue:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"sample_conversations_by_queue": {}
}
} sample_conversations_by_queue is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Register the Genesys Cloud MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for sample_conversations_by_queue: 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 Genesys Cloud MCP Server. Nothing to install.
sample_conversations_by_queue 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 sample_conversations_by_queue 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 sample_conversations_by_queue. 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.
sample_conversations_by_queue is provided by the Genesys Cloud MCP Server MCP server (makingchatbots/genesys-cloud-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
Start from Genesys Cloud MCP Server, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
