What analytics_query_execute does on Piwik PRO MCP Server

Why analytics_query_execute needs a policy

The tool name 'analytics_query_execute' strongly implies execution of queries against an analytics database. The 'execute' suffix is the key signal — this is not a passive read but an active execution of a query. Empty description lowers confidence, but the naming pattern (execute + query) consistently maps to the Execute category.

From the tool's definition Tool name contains 'execute' and 'query', suggesting it runs analytics queries against Piwik PRO data

How to control analytics_query_execute

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Piwik PRO MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for analytics_query_execute:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "analytics_query_execute": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "analytics_query_execute_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 10,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

analytics_query_execute stays usable, but rate-capped — a runaway agent can't fire it dozens of times a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  1. Create a free account and register Piwik PRO MCP Server — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
