Analyze research trends over time for given keywords
AI agents call analyze_research_trends to retrieve information from Georgia Tech MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool performs a retrospective analysis operation—it queries historical research data to identify patterns and trends. No data is created, modified, deleted, or used to execute external commands. The operation is read-only with no side effects. Severity is low because misuse would only expose aggregate research trend information, which is typically public institutional data.
