Get message usage data for the Anthropic organization
AI agents call claude_code_get_usage to retrieve information from Sage MCP without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves usage statistics (message counts) for an Anthropic organization account. It is a read-only data query with no side effects. The blast radius if misused is low — an attacker could only see usage metadata, not modify anything or access sensitive user content.
From the tool's definition 'Get message usage data' indicates a read-only retrieval of usage/analytics information

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Sage MCP, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for claude_code_get_usage:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"claude_code_get_usage": {}
}
}claude_code_get_usage is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
