track_analytics · PromptForge MCP Server MCP: Risk & Policy

WHAT IT DOES

What track_analytics does on PromptForge MCP Server

AI agents use track_analytics to create or update resources in PromptForge MCP Server — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your PromptForge MCP Server environment.

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why track_analytics needs a policy

The tool writes analytics and performance metric data to a store. It does not read-only (it actively records/tracks), does not execute code, and poses minimal blast radius if misused — at worst it could corrupt analytics records, but data is reversible and low-impact.

From the tool's definition 'Tracks prompt optimization analytics and performance metrics' — recording/storing analytics data constitutes a write operation (creating or updating records)

Verdict

track_analytics Rate-limited

track_analytics stays usable, but capped — an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
