What ga4_property_annotations does on GA4 MCP Server

AI agents call ga4_property_annotations to retrieve information from GA4 MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Why ga4_property_annotations needs a policy

This tool only retrieves existing annotation records from a GA4 property. It performs a query operation with no side effects. There is no capability to create, modify, delete, or execute operations. The data retrieved (historical notes about releases/campaigns) poses minimal security risk if accessed by an agent, as it is metadata rather than sensitive user data in most contexts.

From the tool's definition Tool description states it 'Returns annotations' which is a retrieval operation. Annotations are read-only reference data (notes marking dates/events). No modification, deletion, or execution capability described.
