## Why cdp_get_dataset_def is rated Low

This tool retrieves metadata about a dataset definition by ID. It performs a query/fetch operation that returns information without modifying, deleting, or executing any actions. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an agent could only access information about dataset configurations that the credentials permit, with no ability to alter systems or data.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'cdp_get_dataset_def' and description 'Get a specific datasetDef by ID' indicate a retrieval operation with no side effects."

## Use case

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

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

Verdict: **Allowed**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches CDP MCP Server:

```json
{
  "version": "1",

  "tools": {
    "cdp_get_dataset_def": {}
  }
}
