Get detailed statistics for all contributors including commits, code changes, and activity periods
AI agents call get_author_stats to retrieve information from Git Analytics MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves and analyzes Git repository metadata (contributor statistics, commit counts, activity periods). It performs no writes, deletes, executes code, or triggers external operations. It is a pure read operation that queries existing repository data to generate insights. No side effects or irreversible actions are possible.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_author_stats' and description 'Get detailed statistics for all contributors including commits, code changes, and activity periods' indicate data retrieval only.
