Why get_relationships needs a policy

This tool retrieves relationship metadata from PowerBI models, which is a read-only query operation with no side effects. The description is empty, but the naming convention and context of sibling tools strongly indicate it queries model structure rather than modifying or executing operations. Confidence is slightly reduced due to missing description, but the category is clear.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_relationships' and sibling tools (get_dax_columns, get_dax_measures, get_dax_tables, get_metadata, get_schema, get_statistics) all follow read-only metadata query patterns.

How to control get_relationships

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Pbixray, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for get_relationships:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "get_relationships": {}
  }
}

get_relationships is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  1. Create a free account and register Pbixray — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
