AI agents call analytics_properties to retrieve information from Access without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves and enumerates Google Analytics properties accessible to an authenticated account. It returns property metadata (IDs and names) for downstream tools but performs no write, delete, execute, or financial operations.
From the tool's definition 'List all Google Analytics 4 properties' - retrieves/queries data without modification or side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
List all Google Analytics 4 properties accessible by a Google account. Returns property IDs and names needed by analytics_report and analytics_realtime. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Access MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Access MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for analytics_properties: 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 Access. Nothing to install.
analytics_properties 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 analytics_properties 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 analytics_properties. 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.
analytics_properties is provided by the Access MCP server (scottpedia0/access). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
