Validate Umami configuration and authentication. Returns the auth mode, API base URL, instance URL, default timezone, and current user info.
AI agents call umami_ping to retrieve information from Umami MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool only validates and retrieves configuration and user metadata from Umami. It performs no writes, deletions, code execution, or financial operations. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an attacker would only gain visibility into the Umami instance's configuration and current user identity, not data modification or destructive capabilities. This is a straightforward Read category tool.

Validate Umami configuration and authentication. Returns the auth mode, API base URL, instance URL, default timezone, and current user info. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Umami MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Umami MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for umami_ping: 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 Umami MCP Server. Nothing to install.
umami_ping 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 umami_ping 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 umami_ping. 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.
umami_ping is provided by the Umami MCP Server MCP server (mzaxd/umami-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
