Connection discovery (action: infer). Default mode=fast uses DSS connection names; mode=rich scans project datasets for inferred type/schema/managed details.

AI agents call connection to perform operations in Dataiku MCP. While the risk category is not fully classified, applying a rate limit gives you visibility into how often the tool is called and prevents unexpected bursts of activity from autonomous agents.
Applying a policy to connection gives you an audit trail of every call an AI agent makes. Even for low-risk tools, visibility into agent behaviour helps you debug issues, optimise workflows, and maintain compliance with your organisation's security requirements.
Apply a rate limit to control usage and monitor for unexpected behaviour.

These attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access connection gives an agent. Each links to the full case and the policy that stops it:
Other other tools across the catalogue. The same approach applies to each: rate-limit and validate the arguments.
Connection discovery (action: infer). Default mode=fast uses DSS connection names; mode=rich scans project datasets for inferred type/schema/managed details.. It is categorised as a Other tool in the Dataiku MCP MCP Server, which means it performs auxiliary operations.
Register the Dataiku MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for connection: 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 Dataiku MCP. Nothing to install.
connection is a Other tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the connection 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 connection. 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.
connection is provided by the Dataiku MCP server (clssck/Dataiku_MCP). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
