This is a read-only query operation that retrieves aggregated usage trend data for an organization. No data is modified, deleted, executed, or created. The 28-day rolling window is a standard analytics query pattern. Even though it provides organizational metrics (potentially sensitive), the action itself is passive retrieval only.

From the tool's definition Tool name contains 'get' and description states 'Get 28-day rolling usage trends' — retrieves historical usage metrics with no side effects or state changes.
