AI agents call pbir_list_pages to retrieve information from Power BI Report 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 and enumerates pages from a Power BI report file with optional metadata enrichment. It performs no creation, modification, deletion, or execution of code/commands. The worst-case misuse would be information disclosure about report structure, which is low severity. This is a straightforward Read operation.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'pbir_list_pages' and description indicate it 'List pages (paginated)' with return of metadata fields (id, displayName, width, height, visualCount, isActive, hidden, displayOption).
