AI agents call dataset_dimensions to retrieve information from Datacube Sk without modifying any data. This is common in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows where the agent needs context before taking action. Because read operations don't change state, they are generally safe to allow without restrictions -- but you may still want rate limits to control API costs.
Even though dataset_dimensions only reads data, uncontrolled read access can leak sensitive information or rack up API costs. An agent caught in a retry loop could make thousands of calls per minute. A rate limit gives you a safety net without blocking legitimate use.
Read-only tools are safe to allow by default. No rate limit needed unless you want to control costs.

These attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access dataset_dimensions gives an agent. Each links to the full case and the policy that stops it:
Other read tools across the catalogue. The same approach applies to each: allow, with a rate cap to control cost.
List the dimensions of one cube, in path order, with each dimension's valid value codes and labels. Selections in get_data are positional and must follow this dimension order. Get the cube code from list_datasets.. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Datacube Sk MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Datacube Sk MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for dataset_dimensions: 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 Datacube Sk. Nothing to install.
dataset_dimensions 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 dataset_dimensions 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 dataset_dimensions. 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.
dataset_dimensions is provided by the Datacube Sk MCP server (https://gateway.pipeworx.io/datacube-sk/mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
