What query_profiles does on Mixpanel MCP

AI agents call query_profiles to retrieve information from Mixpanel MCP without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Why query_profiles needs a policy

This tool queries and retrieves user profile data, which is a Read operation. However, severity is medium rather than low because: (1) the queried data likely contains user PII or sensitive behavioral properties that could be misused if an agent over-queries or leaks results, and (2) in aggregate, an agent could extract comprehensive user segments or cohorts that could inform harmful targeting.

From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Query user profiles with filtering' and 'finding users based on profile properties and analyzing user segments' — these are read-only operations that retrieve and filter existing user data without modification or deletion.
