Why consultation_analytics needs a policy

This tool retrieves and aggregates historical consultation data to display trends and quality metrics. It has no side effects, does not modify any state, and does not trigger external systems. It is a typical Read-category analytics or reporting function. The low severity reflects minimal blast radius—misuse would only expose existing data or produce misleading reports, not cause system changes or data loss.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'consultation_analytics' with description 'Surface quality trends across consultations' indicates data retrieval and analysis only.

POLICY

How to control consultation_analytics

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Iconsult MCP, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for consultation_analytics:

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "consultation_analytics": {}
  }
}

consultation_analytics is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Create a free account and register Iconsult MCP — nothing to install.
Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
