What get_metadata does on GA4 MCP Server

AI agents call get_metadata to retrieve information from GA4 MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Why get_metadata needs a policy

get_metadata retrieves informational data about available GA4 report parameters—dimensions and metrics—with no side effects, data modification, or external operations triggered. It is purely a Read operation for introspection and configuration discovery prior to running actual reports.

From the tool's definition Tool description states it retrieves ('一覧を取得します' = 'retrieves a list') available dimensions and metrics, with no modification or execution capability. This is a metadata/schema query operation.
