WHAT IT DOES

What oecd-data.reference.structure does on Apibase

AI agents call oecd-data.reference.structure to retrieve information from Apibase without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
`version`	string	—	Dataflow version, from oecd-data.dataflows (e.g. "4.1"). Omit to use the latest version.
`agency_id`	string	Yes	OECD directorate agency id, from oecd-data.dataflows (e.g. "OECD.SDD.STES").
`dataflow_id`	string	Yes	OECD dataflow id, from oecd-data.dataflows (e.g. "DSD_STES@DF_CLI" for composite leading indicators). Returns the dimension list (e.g. REF_AREA, FREQ, MEASURE)

Parameters from the server's own tool schema.

RISK

Why oecd-data.reference.structure is rated Low

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs oecd-data.reference.structure 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 oecd-data.reference.structure, this is the rule to start with:

oecd-data.reference.structure Allowed

oecd-data.reference.structure is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

View as policy code

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "oecd-data.reference.structure": {}
  }
}

ALLOW ONLY THIS TOOL → Instant setup, no code required.

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Apibase, apply this rule, and every oecd-data.reference.structure call is checked against it from then on.

FAQ

Questions about oecd-data.reference.structure

What does the oecd-data.reference.structure tool do? +

Get the dimensions and valid codes for an OECD dataflow (agency_id + dataflow_id from oecd-data.dataflows, e.g. "OECD.SDD.STES" + "DSD_STES@DF_CLI" for composite leading indicators) — reference area, frequency, measure, and breakdown dimensions each with their code list. Use this to interpret the dimension labels returned by oecd-data.data, or to build a narrower key filter. Data: sdmx.oecd.org (OECD SDMX public REST API), no auth required. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Apibase MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

What parameters does oecd-data.reference.structure accept? +

oecd-data.reference.structure accepts 3 parameters: version, agency_id, dataflow_id. Required: agency_id, dataflow_id. The full parameter table on this page comes from the server's own tool schema.

How do I enforce a policy on oecd-data.reference.structure? +

Register the Apibase MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for oecd-data.reference.structure: 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.

What risk level is oecd-data.reference.structure? +

oecd-data.reference.structure is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.

Can I rate-limit oecd-data.reference.structure? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the oecd-data.reference.structure 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.

How do I block oecd-data.reference.structure completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for oecd-data.reference.structure. 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.

What MCP server provides oecd-data.reference.structure? +

oecd-data.reference.structure is provided by the Apibase MCP server (apibase-mcp-client). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
