Is the tool just a few queries or is it more than this?

Basically, I was wondering if it would be interesting to place these stats into
HK itself, or as a separate small service (whose access to be restricted to a

This would allow to not give direct access to the DB, offer this tool to other
MM3/HK users as well as giving you access to the stats whenever you want/need :)
