Pre-aggregated KPI summary (conversations, active users, connector health, token usage). Call this first for overview questions.
AI agents call get_kpi_snapshot to retrieve information from Copilot Insights 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 aggregates telemetry metrics (conversations, users, connector health, token usage) from existing data without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing operations. It is a passive data retrieval endpoint used for observability and monitoring, with no side effects on the underlying systems.
From the tool's definition Tool description explicitly states 'Pre-aggregated KPI summary' and the name 'get_kpi_snapshot' indicates data retrieval. No modify, delete, or execute operations are described.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Pre-aggregated KPI summary (conversations, active users, connector health, token usage). Call this first for overview questions. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Copilot Insights MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Copilot Insights MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_kpi_snapshot: 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 Copilot Insights MCP Server. Nothing to install.
get_kpi_snapshot 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_kpi_snapshot 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_kpi_snapshot. 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_kpi_snapshot is provided by the Copilot Insights MCP Server MCP server (syokiel/copilot-insights). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
