What czso.reference.dataset_metadata does on Apibase
AI agents use czso.reference.dataset_metadata to create or update resources in Apibase, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Apibase environment.
| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
dataset_id | string | Yes | CZSO dataset id, from czso.dataset_list (e.g. "130141r25" for 2024 population movement, "010022" for consumer price indices). |
Parameters from the server's own tool schema.
Why czso.reference.dataset_metadata is rated Medium
An AI agent can call czso.reference.dataset_metadata faster than any human can review: one bad instruction and it creates or modifies resources in Apibase by the hundred, each call as confident as the last.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs czso.reference.dataset_metadata safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Apibase, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For czso.reference.dataset_metadata, this is the rule to start with:
czso.reference.dataset_metadata stays usable, but capped: an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Apibase, apply this rule, and every czso.reference.dataset_metadata call is checked against it from then on.

Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
czso.reference.dataset_metadata accepts 1 parameter: dataset_id. Required: dataset_id. The full parameter table on this page comes from the server's own tool schema.
Register the Apibase MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for czso.reference.dataset_metadata: 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 Apibase. Nothing to install.
czso.reference.dataset_metadata is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the czso.reference.dataset_metadata 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 czso.reference.dataset_metadata. 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.
