What search_analytics does on Local Rag

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

Why search_analytics needs a policy

This tool retrieves and displays analytics data about past search behavior. It performs no data modification, deletion, code execution, or financial operations. The most severe capability is read-only aggregation of usage statistics, which poses minimal risk even if misused by an AI agent—at worst it could leak information about what users have searched for, a low-severity concern.

From the tool's definition Tool description explicitly states it 'Show[s] search usage analytics' with read-only operations: 'query counts, zero-result queries, low-relevance queries, top searched terms.' All operations are retrieval and aggregation of existing metrics with no…

How to control search_analytics

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Local Rag, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for search_analytics:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "search_analytics": {}
  }
}

search_analytics is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  1. Create a free account and register Local Rag — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
