WHAT IT DOES

What copilot_get_usage_by_language does on Sage MCP

AI agents call copilot_get_usage_by_language to retrieve information from Sage MCP without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

RISK

Why copilot_get_usage_by_language is rated Low

The tool retrieves analytics/usage data from GitHub Copilot, presenting a breakdown by programming language. This is a read-only query with no side effects, capability to modify data, or trigger external operations. The severity is low as usage statistics are typically non-sensitive metadata, and misuse would only result in unauthorized information access rather than system compromise or resource exhaustion.

From the tool's definition Tool name contains 'get_usage' and description states 'Break down Copilot usage by programming language'. This is a retrieval operation that queries usage statistics without modifying, deleting, or executing anything.
