Get a usage summary for the authenticated account over the last N days, broken down by provider and platform.
AI agents call get_usage to retrieve information from SocialRouter MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool queries and returns account usage statistics, which is a read-only operation. It does not create, modify, delete, or execute any actions—it simply retrieves pre-existing usage data. The low severity reflects that exposure of usage statistics poses minimal risk compared to data extraction, financial operations, or destructive actions.
From the tool's definition Tool retrieves a 'usage summary' for the authenticated account, broken down by provider and platform. The verb 'get' and the nature of usage summaries (historical aggregated statistics) indicate data retrieval with no side effects.

Get a usage summary for the authenticated account over the last N days, broken down by provider and platform. It is categorised as a Read tool in the SocialRouter MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the SocialRouter MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_usage: 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 SocialRouter MCP Server. Nothing to install.
get_usage 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 get_usage 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 get_usage. 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.
get_usage is provided by the SocialRouter MCP Server MCP server (socialrouter/mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
