Get permissions for a share with parameter: name (required)
AI agents call get_share_permissions to retrieve information from Databricks Permissions MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool queries and retrieves existing permission metadata for a Databricks share. It performs no data modification, creation, deletion, or code execution. The only parameter is a name (identifier), which is a safe lookup operation. Even in a multi-tenant or sensitive permission context, read access to permission metadata has limited blast radius compared to write, execute, or destructive operations.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_share_permissions' and description 'Get permissions for a share' indicate a retrieval operation with no side effects. The verb 'Get' and absence of any modification, deletion, or execution language confirm read-only behavior.
