Get usage statistics for a specific service
AI agents call get_service_usage to retrieve information from Cursor Pro Limits MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves or queries usage data without creating, modifying, or deleting information. It is a read-only operation that returns statistics. While the data may be sensitive (financial/subscription details), the tool itself performs no destructive or financial operations—it only fetches information. Severity is low because misuse would only expose data, not cause irreversible harm or financial loss.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_service_usage' and description 'Get usage statistics for a specific service' indicate a query/retrieval operation. The server description confirms this is for 'monitoring' and 'tracking' usage with no mention of modifications.
