What cdc-count-dataset-rows does on Meta Data Mcp
AI agents call cdc-count-dataset-rows to retrieve information from Meta Data Mcp without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
Why cdc-count-dataset-rows is rated Low
This tool performs a COUNT(*) aggregation on CDC data, which is a pure read operation. It retrieves data (row counts) without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing arbitrary code. The SoQL query is limited to counting rows, making it a safe data retrieval operation with minimal blast radius.
From the tool's definition Tool description states it 'Count the rows in a CDC dataset via SoQL count(*) aggregate' — a read-only query operation that retrieves aggregate statistics without modifying data.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs cdc-count-dataset-rows safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Meta Data Mcp, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For cdc-count-dataset-rows, this is the rule to start with:
cdc-count-dataset-rows is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Meta Data Mcp, apply this rule, and every cdc-count-dataset-rows call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about cdc-count-dataset-rows
Count the rows in a CDC dataset via SoQL count(*) aggregate. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Meta Data Mcp MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Meta Data MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for cdc-count-dataset-rows: 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 Meta Data Mcp. Nothing to install.
cdc-count-dataset-rows 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 cdc-count-dataset-rows 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 cdc-count-dataset-rows. 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.
cdc-count-dataset-rows is provided by the Meta Data MCP server (pypi:meta-data-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
