AI agents call analyze_file_structure to retrieve information from Zoho Analytics without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
file_path | string | Yes | The path to the local file to be analyzed |
Parameters from the server's own tool schema.
This tool performs purely informational operations: it reads and analyzes file metadata (columns, data types) without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. It returns structural information about a CSV or JSON file to inform subsequent actions, but takes no side effects itself. This is a classic Read category pattern.
From the tool's definition The tool 'analyzes the structure of a file' to 'determine its columns and data types' and is used to 'understand the structure of a file before importing it'.

use_case: - Analyzes the structure of a file (CSV or JSON) to determine its columns and data types. - This can be used to understand the structure of a file before importing it into Zoho Analytics. - If the table does not already exist and a file needs to be imported, this tool can be used to analyze the file structure and create a new table with the appropriate columns. important_notes: - This tool supports only local files. If the file is a remote URL, download it first using the download_file tool. - The returned data types will not be the exact data types used in Zoho Analytics, but rather a general representation of the data types in Python. returns: - A dictionary containing the column names and their respective data types. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Zoho Analytics MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
analyze_file_structure accepts 1 parameter: file_path. Required: file_path. The full parameter table on this page comes from the server's own tool schema.
Register the Zoho Analytics MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for analyze_file_structure: 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 Zoho Analytics. Nothing to install.
analyze_file_structure 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 analyze_file_structure 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 analyze_file_structure. 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.
analyze_file_structure is provided by the Zoho Analytics MCP server (zoho-analytics-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
