List all available data sources in Redash
AI agents call list_data_sources to retrieve information from Redash MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves metadata about available data sources without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing anything. It is a passive enumeration operation typical of Read category tools. Severity is low because listing data sources alone does not expose sensitive data directly and has no operational impact on Redash or connected systems.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_data_sources' and description 'List all available data sources in Redash' indicate a query/retrieval operation with no modifications or side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
List all available data sources in Redash. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Redash MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Redash MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for list_data_sources: 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 Redash MCP Server. Nothing to install.
list_data_sources 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 list_data_sources 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 list_data_sources. 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.
list_data_sources is provided by the Redash MCP Server MCP server (jasonsmithj/redash-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
