Get DPI/app usage stats
AI agents call unifi_get_dpi_stats to retrieve information from UniFi 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 network statistics and usage data without any side effects. It performs a read-only query against UniFi network monitoring data, similar to sibling tools like 'unifi_get_traffic_stats' and 'unifi_get_site_health'. No data is created, modified, deleted, or executed as a result of calling this tool.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'unifi_get_dpi_stats' and description 'Get DPI/app usage stats' indicate a retrieval operation. DPI (Deep Packet Inspection) statistics are monitoring/observability data with no modification, deletion, or execution of external operations.

unifi_get_dpi_stats 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 unifi_get_dpi_stats 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.
