Get current API usage statistics for the last N days
AI agents call thealeph_current_stats to retrieve information from The Aleph MCP without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves API usage statistics, which is a read-only operation with no side effects. It queries existing data and returns information about past API consumption. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an attacker could only observe usage patterns, not alter systems, execute code, or cause financial harm.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'thealeph_current_stats' and description 'Get current API usage statistics for the last N days' indicate a query operation that retrieves historical usage data without modifying, executing code, deleting data, or moving money.

Get current API usage statistics for the last N days. It is categorised as a Read tool in the The Aleph MCP MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the The Aleph MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for thealeph_current_stats: 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 The Aleph MCP. Nothing to install.
thealeph_current_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 thealeph_current_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.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for thealeph_current_stats. 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.
thealeph_current_stats is provided by the The Aleph MCP server (nu-aqualab/thealeph-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
